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.
Bs on Amtrak?

Other folks on this forum have mentioned Amtrak and its "no pets" policy. (I think there would be no better dog to allow on a train than one that doesn't bark and in fact will sleep the entire trip.) Has anyone been successful at traveling on Amtrak with a B?
Thanks in advance.

Amtrak is pretty strict about it. There was a petition going around during the holidays, trying to persuade Amtrak to allow pets. It may still be active. Good luck!
