Try the following link as I have post some thing "close" to what your concerns is back in Dec 2001 ...
www.puppy.com.my/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=987;search_string=Identifying%20the%20Responsible%20Ethical%20Breeder;#987
Anyway, below are the brief answer to what you have just asked ...
1. How do we ensure we will get the quality pup buying them over the internet? There is no way you can be be ensured over the purchase of the "quality" pup over Internet unless the breeder or the seller is giving you the sales guarantee, which you need to read through carefully before any decision is making!!!
2. How do we ensure the pups is free from any problem such as CEA for a collie or any other? I am not quite sure what is CEA but if you are talking about CERF, which is Canine Eye Registration Foundation. There is always a certificate to varify ... again, just like what Avril have mentioned, this is only served to inform you that the parents are certify and so the pup is less likely to have the said problem but .... NO guarantee!!!
Other than that like OFA, which mean Orthopedic Foundation for Animals ... this is for Hip Rating, all these test would provide you a certificate on the said dog.
The best way to ensure is to purchase from a breeder that willing to provide health guarantee toward your pup.
3. Do we have the right to choose which pup we want? I guess you have the right to choose what you want but the problem is ... whether the breeder would want to sell you what you want or not is the senarion!!!
Reason being, a responisble breeder will choose those pup that suit your life style most. They would want to have more "personal data" & references from you before they decside which is the best pup to suit your life style since they are the one who make the litter happened.
