At this point I have not had to consider the option of shipping a puppy--I've essitially had parties interested
before breeding. Had one guy a while back I had to find a home for. But I'm not a high volume breeder. Simply put, I want to meet the new owners. I want them to be involved enough that they want to meet me, that they want to meet and bond with the dog, that they want to see the parents, the conditions the dogs are kept in. If those things don't interest them, then no thanks. Now that being said....I can think of exceptions...a breeder or person I feel I know well, who knows me, etc. But other than that, probably not. If someone can get one "cheaper" online, go ahead, I won't lose sleep over it. I'm not intersted in trying to 'underbid' someone else. I'll keep them all for myself!
I agree though...it's an interesting point to ponder.
