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.

Petey, when I got back to the bedroom after my shower. He had pulled the blanket over himself and made a Petey-Burrito.

great pic! LOL, good a Petey Burrito! Could be a Petey Enchilada too. How old is Petey? Is that grey around his mouth?

Yeah, that's some grey. He's 9, so he greyed a little prematurely. He's a herding breed/terrier mix as best as we can tell.

Very cute picture!! He is indeed a hot Burrito!!! Does he get up to say good-bye in the morning or just snooze the day away?
He's not grey, just distinguished!! (9 was when my Tyler started to turn around the muzzle at first, then up to the eyes)

9 is a great age. My last three B's had a lot of energy still at 9.
