TIPS TO HELP YOU AVOID BEING SCAMMED

Puppies are in such high demand lately that the scammers are coming out in hoards, it is important for you to do your own research to avoid being scammed. Here are a few tips that might help.

1. Communicate with the breeder. The vast majority of legitimate breeders will be willing to develop a relationship with you! I have made such wonderful friends through my dogs, it has truly been a blessing! A scammer isn't going to be willing to spend a lot of time talking with you either by phone or email. Request a phone call or two...check to make sure that the area code is actually in the state they are claiming to be from.
(It isn't easy for me to take phone calls due to poor reception and how busy I am taking care of my dogs/puppies, but I am always willing to schedule a call. I always also request that anything discussed in the call be repeated in an email so that I have record of what was said and agreed to, I talk to so many people that I have to rely on a written record to remember all the details.)

2. Ask lots of questions. Again, a legitimate breeder will be willing to answer your questions, in fact should welcome them because they want to help you feel comfortable about purchasing a puppy from them. You can ask them to tell you about their breeding program, ask how long they have been breeding, etc.

3. Look closely at their website, has it been active for a long time or is it new? Do reverse image searches of the puppy photos (a scammer will steal photos from the internet/legitimate breeders and use them as their own to "sell" the puppy). It's not uncommon for them to list a puppy as one s*x but the photo will say the opposite s*x. Look for watermarks on the photos, some scammers are sophisticated enough to be able to remove the breeder's watermark from the photo, but many are not.

4. Request a photo of the breeder holding the puppy and a piece of paper with your name and the date on it.

5. Request a video of the puppy playing.

6. Request to do a live video chat with the breeder and the puppy.

7. If you are considering a breeder on Facebook or other social media, look closely at their profile. Red flags are A. If they have few or no friends on their friends list. B. The profile is very new. C. They don't have very many photos posted, just one banner photo, etc.

8. If the breeder is communicating in poor english and/or grammar. While this isn't a definitive sign of a scammer, it is always a red flag to take seriously.

9. Ask for references, from people who have purchased a puppy from them and from a vet that they use. Talk to the vet clinic by phone rather than just accepting a written statement.

9. If they are pushy and in a hurry to complete the transaction, you will want to step back. They may say things like they are moving, family member is making them get rid of the pup asap, landlord is making them take the pup to the shelter, they have someone else who wants the puppy so you need to get the money to them quickly, etc.

10. Be cautious if the breeder starts tacking on extra charges, such as for a bigger/smaller kennel, trip to the airport, vet visits beyond the typical well check and health certificates required for interstate travel.

11. Research to learn the typical price for the breed of puppy you are looking for, anything significantly cheaper is a red flag. Sometimes they will even say that the puppy is free, you just have to pay for shipping. If it sounds like an incredibly good deal, it's a scam.

12. If you express concern about the transaction they may get aggressive in an attempt to frighten you into sending the money.

13. Plan on picking the puppy up in person, a scammer will, of course, try to talk you into shipping the puppy.

​Realize that breeders can get scammed too!

1. Don't be surprised if we ask a lot of questions about you, we want to make sure that you and the puppy are a good match as well as make sure you aren't a scammer. We may ask to talk to your veterinarian or groomer.

2. We may not want to use certain payment methods such as paypal or credit cards. It is pretty common for someone to purchase a puppy with one of these methods and then once the puppy has been delivered they reverse or dispute the charges, say they never received the puppy, etc. and end up with a free puppy while the breeder is out the puppy and the money.

3. Many breeders work out of their homes rather than a kennel facility, we may not want you to come to our homes/kennels due to the risks involved not only to our dogs/puppies, but to our own safety. You may have heard over the past several years of breeders having puppies stolen by so called buyers coming to look at the puppies, or of breeders being assaulted and even murdered by puppy thieves. There is also a significant risk of strangers coming to see the puppies unknowingly spreading diseases such as parvo to our vulnerable babies. TIPS TO HELP YOU AVOID BEING SCAMMED

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday messages!! You really made my day better!!

Please repost this for my son! ***Please take a moment to read and share.***

Imagine having a conversation with your son regarding his concern for his own personal safety, having him tell you why he is taking extra protective measures and has increased his life insurance, just in case something bad were to happen.

Imagine getting a call only 6 days later, informing you that your son just took a bullet and is no longer breathing on his own.

Imagine the person who just took your son’s life admitting to firing the DEPARTMENT ISSUED G***K 9mm that took your son’s life.

Imagine that the first call to 911 that fateful evening was made by a resident in a neighboring apartment.

Imagine that the first call by the shooter wasn’t to 911.

Imagine that the call placed to 911 by the shooter was on your son’s phone, after making another call on his own phone first.

Imagine that investigators simply took a sworn statement and then allowed your son’s killer to walk free.

Imagine that your son’s belongings had already been tossed in a dumpster when a search warrant was being executed on the apartment hours later.

Imagine that the individual who took your son’s life was placed on PAID administrative leave by his department and then allowed to travel outside state lines.

Imagine having several of your son’s coworkers telling you that things “don’t add up,” and to “press for more answers” from investigators.

Imagine having multiple people inform you that your son had asked them if he could stay at their home temporarily, only days/hours before this tragedy, until he could find a new place to live.

Imagine that authorities were treating your son’s death as a horribly tragic accident, when everyone else believes it was intentional.

This is the reality I am living, and I am asking for help. Please share this post far and wide. I believe wholeheartedly that the evidence and testimony in this case needs to be reviewed by a federal agency. Additionally, due to the nature of my son’s position, and that of his killer, this case requires the utmost scrutiny.

Do you know someone in law enforcement or the FBI? If so, please have them look into:

T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house
My kids were sleeping and so was my spouse.
The embroidered stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

I was wide awake and not in my bed
I had visions of a few more gifts in my head.
A standing gnome, an in the hoop bag,
A quilted mug rug and a holiday tag.

I sat in my sewing room embroidering along
Drinking hot cocoa and listening to a Christmas song.
When out of machine there arose such a clatter
I pressed the stop button to see what was the matter.

The needle was fine, but there was a bird’s nest.
I looked at the top thread and checked all the rest.
The machine seemed okay as I looked around
But it was still making an awful sound!

Oh no, I thought as I searched desperately,
I must find the answer and get these gifts under the tree.
Was it my hoop, stabilizer or design? All were a Nope!
I started to cry and give up all hope.

Then what to my wondering eyes did appear?
It was Santa himself and his eight reindeer.
As he came inside, I saw he was lively, smiling, and spry.
“There, there”, he said, “there’s no reason to cry”.

On this Christmas Eve whatever is the matter?
Oh Santa, I exclaimed, I can’t find the source of the clatter!
My gifts won’t get done; Christmas Day is almost here.
Maybe I need to start on them earlier next year.

The round, jolly man put down his big bag
He said, “Don’t be sad, you’ve just hit a small snag.
Turn the machine off and remove the bobbin thread
I’ve got to go out to my big red sled”.

Santa came back with something in his hand.
It was a new bobbin, possibly a different brand.
“Let’s try this”, he said with a grin
I took it from him and snapped the new bobbin in.

The machine started up without any glitch
And I merrily began to start to stitch.
Oh, thank you Santa, you saved the night.
I needed a new bobbin, you were right.

As he boarded his sleigh and drove out of sight
I went straight to work with all my might.
I finished the gifts and headed to bed
Looking forward to Christmas morning ahead.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
And in the new year, may all your stitches be just right.

Anyone on marketplace-BEWARE of this woman!!! I have the correspondence where she said I could pick something up tomorrow, (since I live out of town and needed to make the arrangements) she even sent me her address and posted SOLD on the ad! Four hours later, she sent me a text saying she’d went ahead and sold it to someone else! This is unethical as well as morally and legally dishonest !!! So, beware-she’s a crook!!!

Four month old Ricky is a black Merle (black with some brown patches), he isn’t completely dry from his bath, yet.

It’s time to get that puppy you’ve always wanted, in time for Christmas! 765-452-4840
