Nice Post Brett - I used to post on a Vette forum - I know what you mean - this site moves WAY faster - some sites you will see the same thread for days...kinda like yours here hehe.
I think most of us agree that the Ethics of the Breeder is what you want to concentrate your search on - Real Mills are pretty easy to detect ...& just by being on this site - you may even find a good breeder here.
So as to NOT post a long post - I'm glad your couch is lonely - That was an interesting thread you started though. Most men wouldn't take the time to do that and I like seeing both parties participate in getting a new puppy - Good luck to you both.
