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.
My Goldies
-
While I love my bettas the best…Goldfish are a close second...These seriously underrated, and often grossly abused fish are a blast! They are fun, personable, long lived (with proper care), and highly entertaining. I have 2 baby fancies in a 30 gallon tank....My ultimate goal is to have a 50 long with one more goldie when they grow up. Here are my goldie babies!:

Samwise the red and white Lionhead
