1st that 'teacup' site made me want to vomit - what are they doing with those puppies in those cups with all that DRAMA on their little heads ? Do they think that'll justify those prices ?

2nd - when looking online for a puppy - if you see numerous ads by the same person - and they want money up front and worse money wired - it screams SCAM....be very very careful using those sites - there's as many scams as there are legit ad these days.....it's really sad no one has a handle on what is a scam and what is real out there

I would certainly do lots of homework on this. On the positive side, there is a lot of this going on because of the economy. Lots of people have had to forclose their homes and move into apartments that either do not accept pets of have such high pet fees that they cannot afford to keep their pets. I really feel bad for these people as I couldn't even imagine having to give up my dogs.

I couldn't imagine giving mine up either, and feel badly for anyone that does, in those circumstances. However, as evidenced by the researched info regarding this particular ad, it is clearly not one placed by folks in this sort of circumstance, but rather folks that are very experienced at perpuating this sort of scam. If it were the type of situation you have described it would not be so pervasive. I don't think 'normal' people in a bad position of having to give up their dog would advertise so many places for one lone pup at 200 dollars.
