I have only shipped one,( out of over 80 pups ) but it was to a person I knew and she knew my litters. I would never sell or ship to an unknown. Another I knew , didn't want her pup shipped and drove from Florida to Indiana to pick her up. I would never buy a pup sight unseen.....you gather too much information from the whelping home, meeting the breeders, seeing the Dam , etc etc. You wouldn't believe the number of people I turned down as to studding their female.!! I'm sorry to say 2 I wished I hadn't agreed to ....though they knew what I expected , they didn't follow through. Yes, I now consider them BYB ers .... They did all the tests I acquired but didn't follow my rules for puppyhood.( ala " THE" book. ) .....but at least I ended up with Chip from one of them!
