Hello...I've been lurking for a while now and felt I should share my experience buying puppies off the internet. I bought 3 from 3 different breeders. I have to admit I did alot of research and it was a long process. I ended up getting 3 healthy puppies. They arrived at the airport excited to see us. ( it was exciting for us too!!) If they were stressed they seemed to recover quickly.
They soon are going to celebrate their first b-day and I still hear from 2 of the breeders. I think you need to talk via e-mail or phone alot and go with you're gut feelings. There were a couple of puppies I decided against just because of the non-communication between the breeder and myself.
Anyway it was a good experience for us. Our dogs are healthy and we enjoy them so much!!
