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.
How did the fox escaped…

I think this is the right place to post a cute story, not B related:
There was a fox running like mad, to save its life, from a hunter's dog that was chasing it, in a valley. In the middle of this valley, there was an old building. The fox started to go round and round this building and then it jumped as far as possible; the following dog, smelling the traces of the fox, was left alone making circles around this building, for about 15 minutes, not realizing that the fox had left !!
Aren't ALL animals just wonderful? -

Hence the phrase: "clever as a fox."
