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....
There is nothing wrong with having them shipped IMO. Would you care to elaborate? Of course, I'm sure if everyone on here who purchased a new dog from across the country/world would go get it themselves if they could. Some people just can't.
