Hi Everyone,

My sister saw a puppy she really liked. She saw it on Puppyfind.
The breeder would only take the deposit on Paypal, and wants the balance by wire transfer or Walmart money gram.

We both know the risk involved in doing this. At this point she only has $300. down. Does anyone know anything about this breeder. Of course we are really looking for positive feedback.

Please!
Ethel

Breeders are often contacted by these types of businesses, that act as a broker...they list your puppies for sale, and buyers go thru them to get the puppy....

I HONESTLY can not say anything bad about this business and others like them.....all I can do is share questions I have in my own mind....

When I have been approached about "taking puppies off my hands", remember that everyone gets $$$$ in the deal....they buy the puppy from the breeder, then turn around and resell the puppy. They routinely DOUBLE what they paid for the pup, to cover their costs.....so if you see a baby priced at $800.00, they probably paid around $400.00 for that baby. In my mind, that is almost unrealistically under priced, which means the breeder did not have very much money invested in that baby.

I do not think pedigrees and history behind that pup is important to them....so I am not sure you can expect a healthy puppy. Nor can you expect a breeder behind that pup that will stand behind her pup or with you in the event you do have a problem.

Just some thoughts I have concerning this type of marketing.

In my opinion I would stay far away from this breeder and I got that by just looking at the site for a minute. Reputable breeders do not use ther word teacup at all nor do they breed females under 5 pounds. They also will not just give breeding rights to someone willing to pay just more money for them. A reputable breeder will casually want to talk to you and ask you lots of questions as well as not just want the money.

this is all new to me so I don't know how to reply to everyone but thanks for your input Wigglipups. Maybe next time my grandson comes to the house I can ask him to help me get around in here. Thank you everyone!

Personally I wouldn't purchase from them. I want to see my puppy in person before a deposit is really even talked about plus they said on their site they'd be offering a vday discount?

. I've never heard of breeders discounting puppies but I don't think I would buy from them based on that alone.
