If you have as much planned for as a human reasonably can, I also say go for it. My husband and I are a bit younger than you, and after we got thru tearing our hair out with the puppy antics - we got littermates, 2 almost 9 week old mini boys - it's been quite the amazing life for us all.
If you feel comfortable naming the breeder, we can offer any experiences with them, if any, or simply use the Search function and see if any PF members have asked about or offered information on the breeder. Proper genetic health testing for variety generally figures highly in any breeder assessment. If they've registered any test results with OFA, you can look up by kennel name, or if you have the sire and dam's name or AKC number (if AKC registered) here:
