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.

Two pics of my parents dog Reuben whilst they were staying at our house to pet sit.
The first pic is Reuben doing his Churchill impression and the second is Bathtime prior to a fun Dog show.
Unfortunately he didn't win, competition too stiff, but last year he won 2nd in the Pedigree class.

He is too cute as Churchill..
Thanks for sharing. -
He is very pretty doing the bath thing really well.
