Unfortunately those thieves came with guns, so your friends system would not have worked in that case. Maybe one needs to get a DL# in advance, and personal references.
It's just a scarey thing now days.
I've ordered mine over the internet and have purchased them sight unseen. I was sent pictures of the parents and puppies. The breeder came well reccommended.
If your breeder is not reputable they can show yfou any dog and say it is the parent, so seeing is not always going to be reliable either.
Breeders need to be able to protect themselves. I believe that I would want to meet inside a pet store, and I would take the parents along. That way there are other people there, and you will get to see the parents.
I'm interested in hearing other thought on this matter.
Thank you annaschaben, for starting this thread. perhaps you could do a poll on the subject.
