Well I can go to local shows in my area, I am shy and I would feel odd just walking up to people and introducing myself while they were busy trying to show their dogs. I could try and catch the ones I like after the shows?

How do I start up a convo? Sorry such a silly questions, but I have a hard time talking to people I dont know.
While I could understand not feeling comfortable advertising your babies on the internet (i might take that route as well, I will probably just place puppies with people I know and family), but how do you feel about buying from breeders that advertise on the net, would ever buy from them or you think I should stay clear?
