| Buying from NextDayPets, Puppyfind, etc.. Hi all... I have a question I need pretty immediate responses to -- I am in the process of purchasing a puppy from a lady I found while browsing the site Next Day Pets.. (I love looking at pictures on there and puppyfind.com as well... just for fun!) Anyway -- my son flipped out over this dog and I've emailed the lady a few times about it and if all goes as planned, I believe she'll chose me as its new home to be spoiled in... Although nothing has sent up red flags, and I have no reason to doubt anything, I was wondering if other people have had experiences with buying off of the internet as opposed to local breeders.... is there anything in particular I should ask her? (I will be driving 8 hours to pick up the pup!!) Thanks, |

| I bought my mother-in-law a female chocolate lab from www.puppyfind.com and we had NO problems whatsoever. Her lab was shipped to her and she has never had any health problems at all.

| I found my Coco on the internet, but did a lot of talking to the breeder on the phone. She was shipped to me from Oaklahoma. It was a 5-6 hour flight. SHE IS GREAT!!!!!

| BE Carefull Let me put in my experience with a "breeder" off that site. I too spent many hours and e-mails back and forth to a person for a young Yorkie male. He was totally misrepresented, the only truth was that he only weighed 4 lbs. He however is over 10 inches tall which did not show in the pictures and was not stated to me. I have kept him anyway as he is the most adorable ,loving, cuddly baby ever and I am back to looking for a male to raise for breeding. The point of all that is that you better SEE the puppy/dog before any money exchanges hands. From Helen, owned by Fancy,Sophie, Sara and last but by no means least, Jake |

| I also bought my princess Chai from a breeder I found on the internet on puppyfind and spent a lot of time on the phone and emails. I would talk to her vet as a reference after he has seen the puppy and I would use a puppy escrow for the money exchange just to be safe. Congratulations |
