Well. u made this statement :
" I checked out her home, the puppies, the parents, etc."
so u took the responsibilty to check out and go there before ..this person did not and many are not doing that and end up with sick pups costing $1000.oo on medical bills ..
i think that is the point that was being made..just to go to a website and buy a pup ...
it is best said like Forest Gump:
Life is like a box of choclates u never know what ur gonna get inside...
menaing... when u buy sight unseen a pup u kno wnot where it is or coming from and what it will be etc etc.
It is really not a responsible pet owner

or breeder under those conditions..
Insane to ship a one pound pup..that little one in cargo will die of fear if nothing else ...
