here is a e mail i recieved, even though i have sent puppies to the bahamas, i asked this person to call me.so far, he has not called!


i will tell by the way he asks questions etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hi,
My wife & I & our 7 year-old twins are interested in buying a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy in the next few months. We live in Nassau, Bahamas & have a nice fenced-in yard.
My parents have just brought in a RR born in New Mexico. My sister lives in Denver & has one too.
We love both dogs & think a six month puppy would be great! Our Bahamas dog import restrictions state that imported puppies must be at least 6 months old.
We have no rabies here, & they want to make sure it stays that way. We would miss the fun early years of the puppy, but that\'s the rules.
Please advise if we could buy a puppy from you, & where are you located. We would like to buy a female to breed with my father\'s beautiful male.
Thanks,
Jack Donald

It must be difficult to sell a pup to someone so far away! What do you think about this guy? What do you think about him wanting to breed?

YIKES!  I don't know what your views are on selling to a different country or breeding, but I have a really hard time trusting people.  It's one of my flaws.

Yeah, I would have a hard time doing that too, unless I really knew them well. 

I am interested to know what your thoughts are as well.  If that is the entire email, he doesn't give a whole lot of information in it, in my opinion.

If he hasn't called, maybe he isn't financially able to.  If not financially able to call, how can he afford a puppy??  He may be wanting to start a puppy mill there.  I am naturally suspicious tho after being burned so many times by "innocent" people.
