I had rather buy from a newspaper than on line. I would be afraid of having one shipped and not seeing where it was born or the parents. We bought Kayla out of the paper but I think its important to ask alot of questions and go see the parents and where the puppies are raised. The breeder we bought Kayla from had an air-conditioned and heating kennel in the back of their home. In fact I think it was a double garage. They were very clean and well kept. Kayla is championed sired and the mom and dad had both been tested. She gives a year health guarantee. She said she really wanted to be a respondsible breeder. She is a Christian lady and she has kept in touch with me. I would not hestiate one minute to buy another puppy from her. So, I think the situtions can be different. I'm sure some on line are fine but it just makes a different who you are dealing with. |
