hmmm, I personally would never have a dog shipped. HUbby and I had our bags packed, ready to fly to California for a dal puppy when we found Jillian's breeder in Kentucky and went with her instead. 8 hour drive both ways, but she was safe. we got to know the breeder, through uh... eye to eye conversation? instead of email. etc etc etc

I'd say more but not feeling argumentive just think its funny how strongly some of you believe in proper, proper, proper way to treat a dog but see nothing wrong with having them shipped....
