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.

Jen - great photos!
TL - what an amazing trip! Loved your "cliff notes" version - all of the pictures are beautiful. What an experience it must have been. -
Thanks Jill and Nala! Yep, 200 days and 5 continents! It was an amazing trip and pretty exhausting! I'm glad I did it when I did, cause I don't think I'd have the energy to do it now! Plus, I have these two B's now that need me! I could NEVER leave them for that long!
