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.
Cave of Forgotten Dreams

Uhm, WOW!
I saw this today and it is way worth going to see. (It was not playing in my city so we actually drove about an hour to get to the cinema where it was showing.) I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in art, humans, animals, early humans, nature, preservation, earth, geology, exploration, etc. It is worth seeing in the cinema and not waiting for DVD at the library (which is what i usually do with movies)http://www.npr.org/2011/04/20/135516812/herzog-enters-the-cave-of-forgotten-dreams
