I've been looking for my first Cav for several months here in Central California and was on a waiting list with a local breeder but the dam failed to get pregnant, so I starting looking elsewhere and came across this male blenheim in southern California.... here's the description with names removed so as to not violate the board rules.

This dog will be a pet and not shown or bred. I've talked extensively with the owner of the dam who is what I would call a good backyard breeder, she owns two females, this is the second littler for the female, the other has never been bred. The owner is very knowledgeable and responsible but she does not show her dogs. I've seen her facilities and they are very clean. My biggest concern is not buying from a known kennel that shows their dogs, and also because the Dam was imported from Ireland. All the health checks for the dam are there and the sire is top notch. She says she imported her female from ireland because she wanted a show quality dog for a cheaper price...makes me wonder, I'm sure there are good breeders in ireland but we all know there are many more bad ones. But she is a member of the CKCSCSC and seems to be very up and up. It was a litter of 7 and these are the last two, I suspect the male was passed over because it has minor ticking on the white of the face, no big deal for me looking for a pet.
Any thoughts on this? I'm supposed to pick up the puppy tomorrow, I've already put a deposit down.
