We've been looking for an English bulldog...........not really having to have it just this moment, but looking around to find a good breeder, with an eye to getting one anytime between now and a few years from now, and checking the rescues too, but they all seem to have older dogs with health issues, and none want to send them with kids under 7..............anyway, found a puppy with great markings registered on petfinder, and emailed the people. They emailed back stating "if you're really serious" and telling me to tell them about my family and our nearest airport. I had contacted them because they were in Oklahoma and we could pick up. Anyway, I emailed back telling them all about my family, how the dog would be kept (indoors), who'd be responsible (me), how we expect the kids to behave around the dog, how we crate train and our Boston has a great place to go when needed, and the kids know NEVER EVER to bother him when he's in his crate, how we would definitely neuter and so forth. But I closed with how we'd prefer to pick up than have him shipped, so we could see parents and because we don't relish our new baby being alone in an airplane. Never heard back from them.
There may be lots of legitimate reasons we didn't hear back, but something in my mind just sends up a flag, that it's because I wanted to pick up and they didn't want me to...................................

She was not the first puppy I tried to get, but the moment I saw her I knew she was the right one. She makes me laugh and smile every day. 
Much happiness to you! 
Congrats on your new addition!
