I don’t have personal experience, but I did just get a puppy so I have experience looking at breeder websites haha!
One thing I notice is that they don’t list their Dams, and a lot of the dogs don’t have OFA result. OFA is an organization that keeps track of all of the health and orthopedic testing done. Anyone can look up a dog if they have their show name. It looks like her most recent litter is from Dubois Impreston Sharma Doll and Kit-Sue’s Chaps the One athough even that isn’t super clear so I’d check with the breeder to make sure. Anyway both of these dogs I could not find on OFA. You can look them up here: OFA.org

To me, the basics of a good breeder is one that does all of the necessary health testing. This is the guide I followed for health testing when choosing a breeder: Standard Testing - Versatility In Poodles, Inc.
