A lot of breeders don't like bringing their nicer stock to shows...too risky and stressful on the animals.
Classifieds, i.e. KS and Fauna are pretty good, but not many breeders maintain a current website. I can't blame them though as 6 adults and 1 (only one!) clutch this season has kept me busy enough along with work, kids, chores, etc. Website's are probably pretty low on the list of priorities for most breeders.

I wonder if breeders would be open to visits for people looking for new additions. There are several local ones I wouldn't mind checking out. I may have to make some phone calls.
