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.
Thanks to everyone

I just wanted to thank everyone on here for being so great and sharing photos, stories and all the other info. My mother passed away on friday very unexpectedly and I come on here for uplifting, looking at all the puppies helps to take my mind off of other things and I just wanted everyone to know that I am glad I found this site and have enjoyed it everyday since then.
