If you find a puppy on petfinder.com or one of the other websites, you can always request to visit the breeder and select a puppy, as well as avoid having it shipped. I got Lexy on petfinder and drove about 6 hours one way to get her. It was worth it to meet her breeder and to see her parents. I also hated to ship a tiny puppy, but I would if that was the only way to get one where I lived. |
