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.

If anyone knows how to reach Whoopi, it would be wonderful to show her what goes into making her adorable puppy in the pet store.

Yikes - I opened that link and then had to promptly close it. Once again, the wuss factor in me won out. Shame on Whoopi, you would think she would have been more intelligent than this.

I was always a Whoopi fan, from the beginning. Until she defended Vicks. Haven't watched her since.

Oh my God - that is horrid. Poor Hope, and all the breeding bitches left like her to die at the pound. I don't believe Whoopi Goldberg put much effort into research in arriving at her decisions regarding pet store dogs and/or the defense of Michael Vick. I sit here wanting to say more on the subject and just can't even think…..........
