Thank you for taking the time to reply.
It's not often that adult dogs become available and those that have come up have been interstate, so unable to meet and greet. I have informed those offering their dogs what situation the dog will go into. Hoping they understand the complexities and trusting they do, without us seeing the dog is a huge leap of faith and I'm a little nervous. I also don't want to upset the dog by having to return to original breeder/seller or rehoming. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have both spoken to and emailed Vic Schnauzer club.
