Quite possibly. I'd ask for vet references, two personal references and then if all is well once you check those, ship them the puppy. I'm in PA and close to 9 years ago now, I did the same for a couple in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. They are still in touch, still sending pictures.

However, I would rather someone meet them with the puppy rather than just shipping her to them. Am I being overly concerned?
