**UPDATE** As a family and b/c of all your great advice, we have decided to pass on this guy. Our new family member is out there somewhere and there will be no doubting or questions when he/she comes into our lives. So thank you for all your insight - it is appreciated!!!
Please forgive me if this sounds ridiculous, but I have to ask...
Would you ever buy a Newf without actually seeing the pup in person?
This breeder has an 11 mo old available but the problem is I'm 5 1/2 hrs away. I could make the day trip but my kids wouldn't be there b/c of school. I'd like them there. On the other hand, I know people purchase and ship all the time without meeting in person, but ugg, what to do?
I have heard good things about the kennel, been in contact with the breeder and seen the breeders kennel name on many pedigrees. I have a couple friends only an hr. away from the breeder that I'm sure would be willing to go visit and let me know how everything went.
As a breeder and/or potential buyer, what would you recommend?
