I would definately want to meet the dam. If there are videos of the sire working then that would be good enough, as usually they are not on premesis or out of state. If I trust the breeder to make the proper match, then I think "meeting the sire" wouldn't be necessary.
Though it would be a bonus to do so!!
Not a breeder, but IMO, trodding around their property would be an invasion of privacy. And if they had something to "hide" then it would be hidden from prospective buyers regardless. Trust should be key, but not to the point of that type examination.
