Same thing here - the puppy will apparently be here tomorrow or as soon as the R850 reflects in the bank account.

I have asked them for their breeders member number because you can't register puppies if you are not a paying member of KUSA and i also asked for the puppy's new registration number. I have a feeling the emails will suddenly stop because Im not being fooled.

To be honest, I have asked them 3 times for a name and eventually i was sent a cellphone number and told to speak to someone else called Rafael. I googled the address and it pooped up as London, England - they claim to live in East London South Africa! The road doesnt exist and i searched the email name and contact number through a national database and it came up blank.

they asked me to send them photos when my litters are born and said that the puppy has a one year guarantee. if anything should go wrong with his health in a year i can return him for a new one from the next litter?!?!?!?!?! so this litter (if it exists) is not the only one. it's not as if the dog fell pregnant and they are trying to get rid of unwanted puppies. who breeds just to give their dogs away and fly them all over the country to their new owners and never check the new owners out. I would certainly want to do a home check before selling any puppy of mine.

I hope that if this is a scam then this might make others more aware of the sick things people will do for quick money. If it turns out to be true (I'm not holding my breath!) I will be the first to apologise!!!!!

PS: just got another reply saying that to SMS them tomorrow is fine but they never gave any KUSA details. Breeders out there know that they charge a lot of money for these dogs because they have fed the mother through it all, had the innoculations, registered them, and possibly microchipped them. not because they are greedy - It takes a lot of time and money to raise a litter properly.
