Breeders can provide better after-sale support, and are usually more user-friendly, too. I purchased my Cairn Terrier (*much* better than a Macintosh...) from a breeder and I am *very* happy with the help she (the breeder) has given me, as well as the basic training the puppy had received prior to my purchase. Incidentally, she (the puppy) was 12 weeks old when I took her home. The breeder felt that the puppy could cope with the change much better at that age instead of at 8 or 9 weeks. Anybody care to comment? (She certainly coped well in our case, even in our somewhat strange and/or eccentric home...) Tom Haapanen {allegra,decvax,ihnp4}!watmath!watdcsu!haapanen
