Being in a similar area as you I would honestly advise you to take good advice and be prepared to travel for a good puppy from a very good breeder. You only have once chance to get it right.
You can get to stafford area in around 6 hours so I would be prepared to go to that area anyway. Lancashire in about 4 hours. You can make a nice trip of it collecting the puppy to. Remember puppies do travel quite well in the car so don't worry about that AND it is only one way for them.
Best advice I can give you .. Take advise from the breed clubs as to the breeders.
