My mom researched and wanted to get a Boxer and my dad wanted to get a German shorthaired pointer. My mom looked and looked on Craigslist for both. The only one’s she could finder were Boxers.

He handed her to my mom and my mom felt the same way. The guy asked if they wanted to see the parents and my dad said, “No, we will take her.” He handed the guy the money and walked
