Bisou is from Sunnydales and I had a good experience with buying from her. I did fly there to pick her up but it was about an hour (or so) flight for me too. Shinyoung, the breeder does have very limited English, but personally that was not a problem nor an issue for me. (I'm used to that- that's already my life in China)...so I was very patient about communicating and we could understand each other- no problems at all with that.
All the photos she showed me of Bisou- well that is what Bisou looked like when I picked her up. Her husband is a Vet and he performed her spay beforehand (Shinyoung gave me the choice of either with her Vet/husband or with my Vet -as I was intending on spaying her).
She's completely healthy. She's fully vaccinated as that is required for immigration reasons (but I would have had her vaccinated anyway) and up to date on all her shots. I was given all her records and health certifications (as I needed them to enter China)....but really everything went very smoothly. She does use a pet relocation agent, who spoke perfect English and sends her puppies to Europe and the States. Her agent and I communicated for awhile as I thought about having her shipped but then decided to just go get her myself.
I did ask a million questions ....Sometimes she was busy and got back to me a few days later, but she always responded and answered all my questions. If I still lived in CA, as I did before SH, then I would have probably still flown to Korea. I don't think 9 hours is so long for a flight (it's long but there are longer) ...and you can take the puppy to the bathroom with a pad. Also you can usually take the puppy out of the carrier and hold her/him on your lap...depending on the stewardess.
