There's no way I would hand over $1200 - $2000 for a dog, sight unseen, to a person or company over the internet. That site could be gone tomorrow, and you either don't get the dog or maybe the dog is sick or dies. Probably comes from a sickening puppy mill.
When we were talking about getting a puppy, I looked on the internet to find breeders, and came across several of those types of websites. You call a 1-888 number or something and deal with a "broker" in Florida. No thanks.
I'm really happy that we got to see Ozzy, pick him up, see his personality, could see and observe his parents, and talk with the breeders. We know where they live, and have the phone number and email address if we have any questions. We fell in love with Ozzy not only because he's cute, but because of his personality and those of his mom and dad. I'm so so glad we went the route we did. |
