you're right, it shouldn't be frustrating. i think a seller should be able either provide the informatin as the buyer's requested or just tell the buyer the information is not available at this time. not go through several rounds, for a buyer to drag basically information out of a seller. but that's just my humble opinion.
you've mistaken my hesitation to visit your puppies due to your distance from me and that's not the case at all. my hesitation is derived from your reluctance to provide information regarding the puppies under your care. i'm planning to make a 200 mile round trip drive this weekend to visit a puppy i'm interested in. i'm willing to make that drive because the seller has provided me with information and responded to all my inquiries and based on the information provided, i believe we can be a good match.
some people may blindly purchase a puppy from a breeder with no questions asked. to me, that's no better than purchasing from a petstore. i prefer to screen the breeder and will expect the breeder to screen me as a good home for the puppy as well. although i prefer to stay local, for the right puppy, i'd be willing to fly out to pick it up and fly back. others may act differently, but this is just my personal feelings about it. |
