If she is looking to buy a dog in her home state, why would shipping be necessary? I have had my male flown to me but I did complete checks on my breeder. I also got opinions about them from other breeders in their area. They had a very good reputation. I would NEVER meet someone and ask them to bring their dogs. That, IMHO, is very unprofessional in the first place. A buyer will come to me or check me out and pay for flight. I encourage pick-up and prefer it but it's not always possible so I would be gladly obliged to provide pictures and refernces, even give you my neighbors numbers and let them say whatever they want. Hopefully good, about me and my practices. ANY good breeder should go the extra mile to make the buyer feel comfortable and stand behind what they produce. NEVER meet halfway, and I'll leave it at that. =) |
