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.
Speaking of markings!

A PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large,
clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat.
The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder.
Shop owner Emiko Sakurada said it was the first time a
puppy with the marks had been born out of a thousand she had bred.
She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'.
The long-coated male Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan

I have never been a big chihuahua fan but that one is really adorable. I didn't know there was such a thing as a long coated chihuahua.

I usually despise chihuahuas but he is just precious! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the heart on his coat. That's so special!

That is very cute…and so appropriate for Valentine's Day!

It looks so unnatural, it's perfect.
I'm not a fan of small dogs of any kind. I like a dog that's a real dog, not some women's purse accessory or a thing you have to carry around on a table(tea cup poodles)
