YES THEY DO! Is it truly "sight" unseen? Well no of course not. What it often comes from, is meeting prosective buyers at shows, showing your sire and maybe bitch to these folks. Communicating via the internet on various topics. Showing the litter through various internet means. Talking ad infinitum to those folks.
For example; Betty Anne Durrer, has a pup for sale. I like the bloodlines, I know Betty from numerous shows; I know the dam, and I know the sire. I've seen pictures; I've talked numerous times over the phone. I decide to purchase a puppy from her; physical sight unseen. She would sell to me and I would purchase said puppy!
