I understand the point of view referenced above, about how emails are safer, and more convenient etc. But I for one am appreciative that the breeder I purchased from listed her phone number. I had been wanting a sv for several years, I would look at breeder sites and sigh ... I just couldn't justify spending what could come close to a down payment on a house for a pet. I had done an amazing amount of research in to the breed as I was so fascinated by. One day not long ago, I found Zeus at a price that I could accept, and for such an incredible looking cat, I couldn't be so lucky could I? The breeder must have alteast 10 people interested in him. I sent an email, and called and left a message on the phone number provided. The next day I was able to call and politely inquire in another vm and that evening got a return email. There were a couple of people that expressed an interest in him, but no deposit had been made. The next afternoon, I was able to put a deposit on him, and not a moment too soon as I found out on these forums. I'm not sure that I would have Zeus if it weren't for being able to call and leave a couple of msgs.
If I were a breeder, I think I might want to have a dedicated line where I could screen vms of potential customers. Someone can take 3 days to right just the perfect email, but when leaving a message, it is a little harder, and thus I believe genuine sincerity and interest may be discerned from a vm that may not be captured in an email.
Wow, I'm shocked that Zeus even let me finish this post. The movement of my fingers and the clicking of the keyboard are a combination that is hard to be refused. I've had more than one post deleted recently by my mischievious little furry friend. Please pardon my spelling, I'm the world's worst. =/
