So many people are getting scammed when it comes to finding
the pet they have always looked and longed for. You have to be
so careful these days! What is even more sad, is that we as
breeders are also prone to scams. So please don't take it wrong
if I question you about some things, because I need to make
sure my puppy is going to a legitimate home, just as much as
you need to be sure your puppy is coming from a legitimate
breeder.

Here are some things you need to watch out for:
 | Always ask to come see the puppy in person. I have an | |
| open door policy with my dogs and would never deny a person the chance to come see them and how they are raised. | ||
| All contact information should be provided, including | |
| name, address and phone number. When you see an advertisement with an email address only, BE CAREFUL!! | ||
| Always get a contract - in writing - signed by both parties. | |
| Ask for references from people who have purchased | |
| puppies from previous litters. | ||
| Never send cash or wire money. Get a receipt for | |
| everything. | ||
| If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is! This | |
| is how they hook you. You either get no dog at all in the end, or you get a very sick dog that runs up your veterinary bills, or dies quickly. | ||
| Always do your research! Any reputable breeder will | |
| assist you and answer any questions for you. There shouldn't ever be something to hide. So trust your instincts. If it doesn't feel right, move on and find someone who makes you feel comfortable. |
