If you're still looking, go to the breeders page of your state i.e here in Vic it's http://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/DogsPuppies/BuyingAPuppy/Breedersdirectory.aspx. It's also worth going to some dog shows and talking with lots of the breeders/exhibitors there. You can learn a lot about the breed you want, including how to select a good pup and what pitfalls to watch out for(like hip dysplasia as you hinted for example).
