I can't speak for ECRB but I know Brian and Justin both, they are both really good guys and better breeder's. You don't have to justify buying from local people all the time..Lets face it there are only two of us in Mississippi so I have to branch out. Regardless of who you buy from as long as they are reputable people that sale quality healthy animals their no harm in it.. I shop friends first, then others even if I've bought from someone before I always shop friends.
