    I am a REAL BREEDER and the photos stolen from my website have been used to scam people, now I put the link of my site on all the photos. These scammers have to be stopped. People have to wake up!

    I've never bought a dog before and looked online this month. I knew right away it was a SCAM and I've never owned a dog. FIRST off, they said they'll ship. I knew right then, not to send any money.

      Gena Sutton some breeders do ship but it is expensive, it’s like an overnight shipping. I know a few people who have got live pets miles away from real breeders but if a “breeder” asks for money right away without giving any shipping info than it is a scam.

      Startrek1965 I don’t think it has anything to do with being smart or dumb but typically if someone is asking you to western union them money that’s a huge red flag. Breeders or people professionally sell these dogs don’t ask to to be wired money.
      I’d also ask to to video chat with the person so I could see the dog in person. That isn’t asking too much at all.

      You can still get scammed from the shelter hun. My uncle adopted a sick dog once, they never said he was sick, battling kennel cough, parvovirus and he had problems with his liver. He was only 5. So, not only did he have to spend the $400 to adopt him, but, within 2 months he'd already spent $13,000 to help the dog. The dog still died. So, no. I'd rather a healthy baby pup from a responsible breeder.
