why shouldnt you buy a dog online?

[tom l]

All depends;
Quality kennels also have web sites.

It is "buyer beware" tho', so you would want to evaluate what is on their web site very carefully. I do know of one web site in England that "borrowed" every single picture on their site.

Well ...DUH????
LMAO!!!
You have twinkies for brains???

Well, people could just be trying to steal your money, but also, you dont know how healthy that dog is, or what it acts like. You need to meet the dog before you buy it.

Because there are dogs dying every MINUTE in shelters!!!!

It's relatively easy to design a good looking website and create an image of a place where animals are well cared for and great animals, but the reality might be a horrible puppy mill where the dogs are mistreated and undernourished and have all kinds of parasites, etc. You don't want to support that kind of treatment of animals, do you?
