Some of you know that I had to give up a little girl we had because she was not a dog for kids. Besides other problems I had with her, she is now in a wonderful,wonderful home with no kids.
I was able to place her by placing an Ad in puppyfind. I know there are scams out there but I didn't realize how many since now I am looking for a yorkie again! I searched on Puppyfind for all listings in FLorida that way I would take a drive and see the puppies in person first. Well I emailed like 7 people listed in Florida. Well guess what I've gotten 3 replies and ALL of them have said the same story!!! "I'm sorry we just moved to Nigeria and I can't take care of my puppy/puppies ,if you can transfer $600 blah,blah ,blah...
The other one I found had listed pups from $750-$1,500 Well I called this morning and was put on hold for like 5 minutes. I found it strange because I thought I was calling a house. Then they answer the phone and say " Please hold" again! Finally I wait patiently and get the girl on the phone. I asked her if I could see the puppies available in person and she said of course. I noticed the number is from Broward County ,so I asked her what part of Broward County are they in since I used to live in that county. She tells me Pembroke Pines. That is my first little red flag. I almost didn't want to ask her my next question but I did. Iasked them if by any chance they were Wizard Of Claws? And she said " Yes we are" My head started spinning I was already so angry because I know how terrible these people are!!!! I told her NEVER MIND and she tells me if I wanted a Rep to call me! I said NEVER MIND and hung up.
They sell AWFULLY sick puppies for $3000 and up! The owner drives a Hummer and the wife has a Lamborgini! I spent Saturday looking at puppies in person. I am NOT going to buy on impulse again!
