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.
So I guess it is about time…

Thanks you guys
It has taken a while to get adjusted to the idea. We were on the fence about the possibility of one more…and we will get a two for one deal!I was REALLY sick during that first trimester, but now just tire easily. No showing dogs for me this summer; even though with my pregnancy with Ethan I showed Bella up until about a month before I delivered.
So, yeah, things are going to change at our house...mainly in the sleep area, though I don't sleep that well now, anyway. Our plans for our breeding program will be put on hold for a while; and we will probably be placing some of our younger dogs, so that they can have the attention they deserve.
Thanks for your kind words

Congrats!
My girlfriend and I were having a conversation via chat this morning and children came up with regard to the dogs we have. Tucker bites and her dog snaps at everything. We decided that we are going to get one of those indoor-outdoor playyards/pens for dogs. However, we'll use it to keep the kids in and the dogs out!
