you will need to post some more, there is a fun and games section you can quickly get lots of post in, because you need 10 posts I think to recieve a PM. As per the forum rules we cannot name breeders publically only via PM.
OFA and CERF are not the only clearances, ask for hips, elbows, eyes, heart, eic and cmn. See here for more info:

I think very few breeders remove dew claws - it's best to leave them on.
see this thread:

DO NOT cut corners on price. not saying to go wtih the most expensive breeder but getting a puppy from a breeder is not hte place to start nit picking on price and cutting corners - that comes at the great risk of the health and temperment of your puppy and long term cost of the dog. Price is regional - 900-1500 or more depending on area.
