I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.
Worried about Robyn

Okay has anyone heard from her? No posts since the end of August, not returning my email or a friend who is looking for a dog, phone on web site not functioning. I am worried.

She has been on facebook

Pat, glad she posted there, please let her know I am worried and check her mail.

Hello everyone. I have a great deal on my plate right now and I have withdrawn somewhat. Family obligations, my health issues, etc have taken priority over dog-related communications. I barely read lists or forums now though I do post on Facebook occassionally. Thank you for thinking of me. I'll be back when I can.
