<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Hey everyone! So I'm 24 now and I've legitimately known that I want a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever for at least 12 of those years. I'm from Canada orginally (Kanata to be exact... Yes it's spelled Kanata) and moved to the US in 2002. When I was younger I was really cool and would get dog breed books for christmas with directories of breeders in the back and I had found a Duck Toller breeder about 15 minutes from my house in Canada. I emailed her (I was about 13 years old) asking if I could come by and just play with the dogs since they were my favorite but obviously wouldn't be able to buy one. Luckily she said yes (thanks Dawn!) and it only cemented my goal to own one!

So, now I think I'm ready to get a pup but I live in VA and as you may know there aren't many Toller breeders in the US, much less near me in VA. What is the best way to go about buying and getting a Toller over to me? I know I could have one flown out but I don't know if that would be traumatic. Curious if anyone has any advice or past experience with the best way to get me a Toller.

Thanks!!
