Hello, FMLers, I hope this email finds everyone's fur healthy and happy. I am posting this because I am looking to buy a late-alter SHOW QUALITY ferret from a reputable breeder. Over the last 6 years, all of my ferrets have been hard to adopt ferrets through shelters (currently I have 8). I've recently started going to shows and wish to show ferrets, myself. I feel I've done my part by adopting hard to adopt ferrets and for once would like to have a show quality ferret. Money is not an issue, but I'd like to make the breeder aware that all my ferrets have been exposed to ECE and I'd like to know that the parents have been tested for ADV. I'd also like to mention that I'd prefer NOT to ship the ferret, but if he/she is far away from my Eastern Pennsylvania home, I'd like to work something out where I can have him/her transported via land vehicle with close attention being paid to his/her well being. I had originally arranged with a reputable breeder here in PA to buy one of her ferrets, but she's had a bad time with her litters, and the ones that have survived are all spoken for. On a final note, my dream ferret would be a panda with distinct dark/light contrast, but a good looking, well marked ferret would make me just as happy. Please email me privately via my address listed above. Warmest Regards, Dee, Mooch, 'Spresso, Breezely Bruin, Charles, Dash, Vera, Good Will & Mugsy [Posted in FML issue 3036]
