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.
My trip to London!!
-
I have just got back from a fantastic week. I am originally from London but have lived in Ireland for 10 years. We haven't got to go over and visit all my family over there for the past 4 years.
We did all the tourist stuff and we loved every minute. Even though my son managed to get bitten by a squirrell while we were in the park!!
Here are just some of the photos I took

Too bad you didn't have a basenji along to make quick work of that squirrel!
