Laura, What clinched the deal was her first trip down to see the pups.......she greeted me at the door,heard the puppies and walked right passed me, over the baby gate she went and in the floor with the pups. Now she is a Dear Sweet friend that has her second pup and is showing him. Even been to her first National.....Mo In a message dated 12/21/2005 6:08:35 PM Pacific Standard Time, murk@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: I have to admit, I did put Pat thru the ringer and back......she was my first internet sale, and it scared the crap out of me......... As it should be, don't you think? And, turned out to be a good thing for you both. . Mina did not disappoint. What a wonderful, beautiful girl. I update the breeder frequently and we have developed a nice friendship. I don't think I would've bought from this breeder if she hadn't made me wait and jump thru some hoops :-) Laura Thomas ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
