Ahhh I never thought about shipping restrictions in the winter. I would expect that they wouldn't ship to Toronto in the winter... I would hope anyways, because I can't see it being all the comfortable for the already nervous puppy.
I have found a breeder in Orillia that I am liking... I may email her... most of her dogs are in the $1800-$2500 range though... There was one for $1200 (and I could actually see the difference in the color and structure), and while its more than I'd like to spend, it's nice and close and I actually spend weekends in Orillia all the time and could go check things out personally.
I definitely agree that there is lots of great advice in this thread, and I am glad I am not the only one who is benefiting - thank you all and keep it coming, lol.
