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 hubby used to be the one saying the house was too hot, now he has a sweater on, I am opening the windows and have the fan on…
Sigh.
I can't wait for this wonderful "change" to be done!
My glasses fog up from the inside! -
Too cute. I've sent that on to a few of my friends. I think I'm the only one who, without medication assist, never had a hot flash. Or maybe it's just that it is so hot here in Georgia that I just never noticed.

Hilarious - just sent it on to a gaggle of girlfriends. We call 'em power surges!
