| this is a scam!!!!!!!!!! For one thing, I know for sure that you can ship a pup anywhere in the Unites States for 170 for up to fifty pounds. unless it has gone up in the past three weeks. That is always what U.S. Air always charged us until they stopped shipping live animals. Now we use delta and the rate is the same. We ship eight week old beagle puppies on the avrage of about three or four times a month. Sometimes we ship two in the same crate. you can do this at no extra charhe as long as they fall within the weight limit. Their weight plus the crate up to fifty pounds. If it is over that, you have to pay extra but puppies are never over that . Stay away from this person. I saw on the news a few days ago, that the Western Union thing is definately a scam. we have even had these people contact us about buying our dogs saying they will send X amount of money Western Union and we are to cash it, take our part and send them the rest. HELLO!!!!!!!! We are from Kentucky but not stupid. |

| I def. would not do it. It is not worth it. Not to mention as I have learned the hard way that even if you meet the breeder and puppy face to face before you buy it does not ALWAYS garuntee a healthy and happy dog. PLEASE, don't do what I did! Do RESEARCH and ask around for references from people who have bought puppies from whatever breeder you are looking to buy from and even ask for vet references. It is not worth the heart ache of a sick dog or the whole in your pocket for no dog! |

| Since he lives in the states he would be able to go through puppy escrow. Ask him if he will go through it? If he says no, then don't do it, there is absoultely no reason why he can't use puppy escrow and can only use western union, especially since he lives in California.

Off the subject, but United ships for $111.00 and they do not go to the oversized baggage area, they take them right to the front desk. | |

| SCAM!! Like others have basically said " If it sounds to good to be true, it is". And besides if you are wanting a puppy I would make sure that it has been tested for LP and liver shunt and that the breeder can show proof or offers a health guarantee. As you will read on this site many have on this site have suffered much heartache over puppies they purchased only to find out they were ill. Why not wait and save the money for a puppy you can purchase from a reputable breeder. In the long run you will spend less on a healthy puppy. Good Luck |

| All of these scams have the same 'tone' to them. Poor English, spelling, saying such wonderful things about the puppies...things people want to hear. Please don't go this route...you'll only end up disappointed and a few hundred dollars poorer. Chances are pretty good that the pics are stolen and that there are no puppies at all. There are some wonderful, trustworthy breeders out there who put their puppies first and worry about the money last. I'm sure there are many on here who could recommend someone to you. Best of luck. |

| Definitely a scam. NEVER send money via Western Union up front for anything. You will never be able to get ahold of him once the money is wired.

| DON'T DO IT! I GOT THE EXACT SAME EMAIL this one is definalty a scam. I checked on one myself. if you look closely the phone numbers don't match where they are telling you they are from. I got this message in my junk mail after I replied to a different ad. if you look closely the phone numbers dont' match where they are telling you they are. mine said they were in florida and it was a montana area code. google just the area code and see where it is from. I'd bet it's not going to be the same area. I got the email when I replied to one on puppyfind. I emailed puppyfind and they said they have been removing all thier ads as soon as they know they are there. |
