   Buying any animal over the internet is asking for problems.  I'd suggest you   
   keep at the local breeders or make arrangements with a reputable breeder in   
   a nearby state to have a dog shipped.  Better yet go to the shelter and   
   rescue a dog...........:)  Mutts make the best dogs anyway.
