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.
Heart goes out to Poland

I just heard the stunning news that Poland has lost President Lech Kaczynski and other officials in an airplane crash. There are no words to say that will lessen the shock and pain the Polish people must be feeling right now. My heart mourns with you.
I can only say from the Native American belief: may the Grandmothers bring you comfort and ease your pain, may the Grandfathers show you guidance through this horrible time.

To all of our Polish members on this form, please accept my condolences.

What a terrible tragedy, especialy awful as they were going to commemorate another tragedy.

So sad, I feel for Poland and its people today.
