My Sunny came all the way from Alabama to PA. Maybe the shelter would be able to arrange a transport. If I were along the route, I'd help

Dont feel at all guilty about going through a responsible breeder for your dream dog, there is nothing at all wrong with that.

My next dog will be from a breeder (there is only 1 breeder in Aus at the moment). But i have had my heart set on a Dandie Dinmont Terrier for years now, and want to make my dream come true.. so responsible breeder it will have to be .
