Bonnie, I don't have tons of money to throw away either, IMHO, I just believe 
that it is better to cut your losses early. Saving a couple hundred bucks 
when you buy a puppy of doubtful ancestry can mean thousands of dollars in 
vet bills in the future. If money is an issue, rescue is always an 
alternative.

I do agree with your assessment that some EMAIL responses do come off as 
brusque. Sometimes it is better to distill the message from the delivery. 
Also keep in mind that EMAIL is a real-time delivery vehicle and you have no 
intonation or body-language to soften a message. If you stick around for a 
while, you will see that the list members truly have the best intentions for 
the breed and it is this commonality that keeps the list together.
