Just out of curiosity - did anyone ever address the issue of possible disatisfaction with you? i.e. - what if the pup is sick upon arrival...or a visit to the vet reveals congenital issues etc. etc.?
An email friend of mine paid big bucks for a toy poodle pup that she bought as her foundation stud, and had him shipped. Turns out he was a monorchid. At the vets recommendation, she waited (and hoped and prayed) 5 mos. for that errant testicle to descend.
In the end, he had to be neutered, the owner lost not only the $ to purchase and ship him him but also the dreams of having a really spectacular little stud.
I felt badly for her because this was a no win situation. After 5 mos. it would have been devastating to ship him back as she'd become attached (naturally) and he was, in all other respects, in good health. The breeder didn't seem to think this was enough of an issue to warrant any restitution on their part, and it wasn't one of the things specifically mentioned in the health guaruntee.
ANother of those "sticky situations" and, I guess a bit of a warning that buyers have to be extremely careful about what is, and isn't, covered in the purchase contract (irregardless of wether the dog is shipped or not).
