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.
How is it….

that my oldest daughter is 21 years old today when I am only 29?:rolleyes:
This is us then:
And this is us now:
Sometimes it seems those years have flown by, sometimes it seems it has taken forever to get here. But it's been a great journey, and I'm really happy with who she's turning out to be.

Aww - lovely photo of you and your dd - in both pics! You haven't changed a bit, but your dd looks a lot different. (btw - we're both the same age…29 and holding!!! ha ha)

Since I now have 3 little grandsons, I've advanced my age from 29 to 39! But I'm determined to hold my ground there. Your daughter is lovely. If a person's greatest legacy is the people he/she leaves behind, it appears you have done well!
