I hope you rethink this, I understand where your coming from, but in essence you are saying you don't care if your dogs go to some weirdo's house. You must develop a relationship with a potential buyer. Get references, and vet references if possible, know their home address, and interview them over the phone before you even consider allowing them to see your babies. Ask them about past pets, and how they discipline pets. If they wish to see pictures, send them pictures via-email, but the important thing to remember is you are not selling a dog, you are "placing" a dog. A responsible breeder does everything in their power to insure; that the dogs they have placed will be provided an excellent home and will never need to be rehomed. If I did not feel comfortable having someone to my home, there is no way I would place a puppy in that household. BE CHOOSY!
