Hello,

I'm a newbie. I have been reading this site for about a month now and researching the breed for over 6 months.

I know many people have posted requesting breeders in the
NOVA/DC/MD/W.VA area (near DC)/DE.

I have notice there haven't been very many responses. I have found one breeder in Silver Spring, MD that I found on another site and have written a breeders in Chantilly and Spotsylvania County Virginia. No response from them as of yet.

I met a woman at Pets Smart who got her little one from a woman in West Virginia that was listed in the Washington Post (washingtonpost.com). I have checked out the washingtonpost.com and have had no luck. Just scammers. I am familiar with dcpetfinders.com and they seem awesome but have yet to see pure breed puppies on their site, yet the way they are organized is awesome.

Is there anyone within a 2.5 hour ride from Alexandria, VA expecting a litter that will be ready for a perm. home in July/August? If so, what is the pricing? We have no particular desire for a specific sex. We just wanted to go with the personality of the puppy and we are not interested in breeding at all.

If you have a litter available now, let me know and I will pass on your information anyway to someone else.

I'm nervous about shipping but where I wasn't considering it 6 months before, I am now. Simply because the price including shipping has been great from the breeders I have seen, the health guarantee, the opportunity to speak to others who have purchased and the possibility of us having a friend in the area to go by and visit the breeder. My biggest thing was that the baby won't be comfortable, but I am now aware that there are some airlines that will allow the babies in the main cabin when shipping.

Sorry for my long message but I have been reading and researching to make sure we will find a great furbaby and be the best parents possible.

Thank you all in advance for your advice.
