in reply, to MsCat, how do you figure she was to young at the time of purchase? Have you ever purchased form Hi puppies or had any dealings with them? And lastly, are you a breeder by any chance?
I truly don't think that luck had anything to do with it. In fact I had a professional dog trainer and breeder actually go with me at the time of purchase.
HI puppies is definitely a place I would repurchase, or recommend to anyone!
However each is to its own, bottom line you have to do what makes you feel comfortable.....
