I am very leary about buying off of the internet. You don't get to see the parents...except in a picture and who's to say those are really the parents? You don't get to see what kind of homes they come from...are they clean? Are they a mill? You can't check a puppy's teeth by looking at the picture nor can you check to see if they have a straight top line or a roached back. Actually, you don't know if the picture you see is the puppy that they will send you.
Once you've received the pup and let's say that you find something wrong with it and want to send it back, you're options are...YOU pay for reshipping the pup. You won't get your money back but they'll offer to send you another one to replace it. Then, let's say you don't like the second pup. YOU pay to send it back and they'll send you yet another.
My recommendation to you is, wait and find a breeder in your area. Go see the pup and check it out. Sometimes, it can takes MONTHS to find the perfect pup but once you do, you'll know what you are getting.
Also, I would never want to get a pup shipped during the summer months.
Good luck! |
