People can sound very nice etc in emails. This situation you are in has happened to breeders who are reputable, putting their lines and those kennel names behind their lines in the wrong hands.
One thing that always arouses suspicion for the motives of someone looking to buy a dog for show or breeding, is why are they enquiring so far from home? It may well be they are looking for new lines etc, but what you might do is find other breeders who happen to live in the area where the enquirer lives. Ask them if they know this person and what they know about them.
In too many cases, no one in their area will sell to them because they know it is not a good situation.
Also, as you are in Argentina or for those living in other countries, you don't have a contract with the buyer and if you do very difficult if not impossible to enforce. Europe does not have contracts, they are considered illegal and cannot be enforced. Often buyers of the type you described don't want a contract as they want to do as they please and often not in the best interest of the breed or the dogs.
