Ask if there is a health guarantee.
Ask if both sire and bitch are AKC certified, and ask to see records.
Really, just know what health problems the breed is prone to and make sure your pup won't have the serious ones.
Temperament of sire and bitch. Make sure they are people friendly.
Ask to see the kennels. Make sure they are taken care of.
Don't let these people bully you into buying a dog you don't want. It's just a dog. Just make sure you're the right fit for the dog.

This is a must for me. As weird as it sounds, I want to make sure they are good with children, but I don't know how to have my puppy/dog interact with children and not be creepy as a 26 year old male.
Something tells me "Hey kid, come pet my dog" isn't exactly the way to go haha.

This. We're shelter people, but I would be highly suspicious of any breeder that doesn't allow potential owners to see the kennels. Was reading an article the other day about how puppy mills can look like a normal family home, but they give you excuses about why you can't tour the kennels.
