Defintely a scam. From my (albeit, limited) experience in dealing with breeders, most want to ask YOU questions and not just hand their beloved babies over. Also, I have not seen a reputable breeder who will just give away their puppies to someone they don't personally know. The old saying that if it seems to good to be true, it usually is, really does ring true! I would never send any money without a written contract anyways, as unfortunately in todays world you can't really trust people a whole lot. That is why I am so grateful for forums such as this one, where there is a ton of information on the breeders, and many have built a great reputation by providing loving, healthy babies.

Sadly, the bad english is also a tip that it's a scam... There was story done on our local news a few weeks ago about these scammers, and I learned that until recently it wasn't even illegal there! It is now, and some are being arrested and prosecuted, but they are millionaires in their countries because of our willingness to trust. I will never take a puppy from anyone that I have not had a sort of relationship with. I want to see my puppy grow and visit with it and the breeder (at least by emails, phone and pictures!) and know that I can trust them. A good breeder will do reference checks on you - I also plan to do reference checks on my breeder! A puppy is a life long commitment and worth the work and the wait IMHO...
