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.

Luckily hurricane Tomas just missed us here, unfortunately for Haiti , it seems they are getting the worst of it… After such a horrible year!!....... we have had so much rain, though for a couple days , you know you are a basenji person when your biggest concern with a big storm is how bored/destrcutive your basenji's going to get!!

Yeah, we got soaked over here and haven't been able to safely walk Paco for a few days. He's going a little bonkers - we bring him to dog-friendly restaurants every chance we can.

dmey - I thought of you when the hurricane news reached here in the media - glad to hear that you weren't affected.

Thanks a lot for being concerned! No , luckily it was just a lot of rain, and now it's actually kind of cold ,believe it or not… For us.
Unfortunately there aren't that many "dog friendly" anythings here, it's funny because a lot of times I would be walking by a restaurant or cafeteria that has outdoor sitting area, and they won't let me sit with Ayo, but there are three or four stray dogs just lying right there and that seems to be ok!!!!
