I guess that's one way of figuring it out, dogs are great judges of character. |
Yeah, I guess all you can do is try to get to know the potential buyer the best you can. When I bought my newest cat, I e-mailed back and forth with her breeder several times (LONG e-mails from both of us each time) and visited with her in person once for like an hour and a half. And then continued to e-mail for a couple more weeks before I picked Sophie up. So I guess that's all you can do is try to get to know them well and pick the best home for the puppy
