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.

I highly recommend this show if you can find it. Smiles, tears…the works. It is all about the Big Dog Parade in Santa Barbara, CA. It was shown on our Smithsonian Channel.

Add to the previous post…Sorry Jason and Miranda, it is mostly about dogs in costumes...but lots of stories about how these dogs touch people's lives...and the costumes are AMAZING...and the dogs look pretty darn happy!
