Ex-CUUUUUUse me, but how would they know if you're a "good home" or a stinking puppy mill?
Then they'll add air freight from XYZ airport to the airport closest to your home. Send them the money and they'll send you the puppy.
RIIIIIIght! Not gonna happen. Do you have any idea of the paperwork Customs would want, let alone Ag? |
*SIGH*
How does anyone know the conditions they are selling a puppy into? How many puppy sellers actually go to the homes of the buyers and check them out?
Of course they will add air freight...would you expect someone to ship something halfway around the world to you for nothing?
Animals are shipped overseas all the time. There are even companies that specialize in overseas shipping of animals. Those companies assist the shipper to obtain the documents necessary to admit the animal at the destination.
There are many, many reputable Yorkie breeders here in South Africa. You cannot assume that simply because an advertiser is located in Africa that the ad is a scam. I have corresponded with a Yorkie puppy scammer who is located in the US.
