I advertised on our local Gumtree internet site that I was looking for a male Yorkie for breeding purposes in about a year's time when I am looking have a litter. I was just interested in the fees charged for this etc. She is nowhere ready for reeding yet and I haven;t made a final decision on whether or not I will so i was simply putting my feelers out to get some more information.
However, I got a reply from someone based in the country but a different province saying they had what I was looking for. It turned out however that they were offering me a puppy (male or female or both) for FREE. there was just a fee for the flight to where I live or I can collect him myself. These people claim that the puppies are KUSA registered, housetrained and crate trained (??? at 11 weeks ???) and that they are up to date on the innoculations and come with a one year health guarantee. they seemed so thorough asking me how I would care for the puppy etc. The pictures show a really beautiful puppy.
But they don't seem to answer MY questions in return and i am SO suspicious. I hear about scams all the time but how does one tell what is legitimate or not? It's not like i can drive there and see the puppy and I must rely on the pictures i was sent - which could be copied off the internet for all I know. And of course it's cash upfront and then the pupy is sent. When i got my female i went and saw her at 4 weeks, picked her out and paid and even then i was suspicious!
Any ideas on how to tell if it's legit or not? I have been considering having a companion for my little girl anyway regardless of whether she has puppies or not.
I have tried to add attachments - any ideas on how to find out how true this is? I have been told he will be maximum 4 pounds and it all sits uneasy with me!!!!!
