It's easy to fall in love with a picture of a cute pup. Personally I would want to meet the breeder, the rest of the pups in the litter, and the dam and, if available, the sire. If that means I have to fly to where the puppy is, I would do so, and bring it back myself. |
My thoughts exactly. I would never purchase from a breeder that I never met, a puppy that I never saw with my own eyes. If it were me, I would have driven down there myself to look at and pick up the pup. LA is only about 6 hours away from SF.
