First Welcome to YT. My condolences on your loss. I am a tad geographically challenged but would the puppy fly by airplane and IN CABIN to you in Australia? Just kind of wondering how long that flight would be?
Also I kindof know you are in your summer months, so heat is a factor with air travel. I would be very leery unless the puppy is flying in cabin for the trip to you.


In terms of de-sexing very young puppies (which yours is), is not a practice I would engage in or support.


Have you been able to research this breeder? BBB reviews, Yelp and what other on line review mechanisms are available to you in Australia.


Has she provided you with referrals or references, and have you checked them out?


I do believe it is best to visit the breeder in her home, how-ever it is not always possible to do so. Videos and pics, and lots of investment of time getting to know one another will have to suffice.


The library here has some wonderfull articles in it. Guide to Finding a Responisble Breeder is one such article.


I how-ever in reading your post a couple of times, concur with Wylies Mom, in that you seem very unsure and hesitant. Maybe if you have screened this breeder thoroughly and are still hesitant, it is much better to wait than be sorry.


And December is not so far away...... why rush a purchase decision?
