I recently sold a puppy to a lady who lives in Northern Utah. She was in Henderso, NV to help take care of her sister and decided to buy a dog. We had planned to fly the dog to her, but the cost was high. I met her outside of Salt Lake City. It was about a five hour drive for both of us, but worth not flying the puppy. I met her once, and knew the puppy would have a good home. There was one mistake, right Carol, but all worked out in the end. She now lives with four children and the lady's husband swears this little girl is the prettiest German Shepherd he has ever seen. They are going to try to show her, she was showable. Sometimes you just get lucky as there are stories that do not work out as well. I might add, that every puppy leaves with a microchip with me as the alternate contact. I make sure the buyer knows that they may not get the puppy back if I am called. Colette ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
