I am just kinda taken back when its not close by and I can't visit the home. Interested in feedback and suggestions . Thanks very much.
I have a lovely dog of Joy's breeding, a very accomplished AKC grand champion. I think she does, or did in the past, drive into the US with a few select dogs to show prospective clients. I'm actually located within an easy day trip to her home and am ashamed not to have made the drive to visit her.
I think people need to grow accustomed to the idea of meeting up with a breeder to choose from a few select puppies. The legal environment for breeders, thanks to the animal rights movement, has driven many of us into remote rural places to keep our dogs safe. Some of us are leery of having our addresses known for fear of being raided. Raids are not always fair in this environment.
Reputation is golden. Know the reputation of the breeder you're dealing with.
