Just my two cents, but financial reasons asides, is she willing to travel? Lots of kennels want to meet you in person. For a relatively new breed, I'd think for your best shot at good conformation, behavior, and breeding stock, you should at least wait until the dog's preliminary bonitation outcome if those three things are of utmost importance. Very few things are certain at 8 weeks old, whether or not the pup won't wash out of SchH isn't certain even given good working lines.
