My Reply:
Hi again Cindy. Before I send you any of my information, can you tell me more about these dogs? Do you breed them?? Can you tell me about your breeding program and these dog's pedigrees? Are they registered with any associations? I'm sorry if I am asking so many questions I just want to know you better and more about your dogs before I buy all the way from AFRICA! I mean that is a long way away. Please answer all my questions and get back to me ASAP?? Also I noticed you wrote to me at 3a.m. How far off is Nigeria time from time here in America?
-Kathleen
Oh and feel free to ask me any questions, I'm sure you want these dogs to go to the best home possible, because you care about the oh so much.
From Cindy #2:

My reply:
Ok well you didn't really answer my questions. I thought these dogs were strictly a couple pets, and you felt bad for them so you are finding them better homes? But now you are saying you breed them? If the environment is harsh in NIGERIA, why do you continue to breed these innocent animals. Please tell me more about your breeding program, don't just blow me off and try to get my money. I want a dog from you but I want to know more about it first. WHAT associations are the puppies in. and do they have liver shunts?? I hear this is a desirable trait, what is your thought on this? Answer me ASAP.
Kathleen and Brian
I would really appreciate some good answers.
From Cindy #3:
HELLO,

My reply:
Cindy- Thanks for the reply. How old are the dogs you have for sale? Also, what part of Nigeria are you in? I have a friend visiting there very soon for a mission trip and they may be able to pick up my puppy and escort it back with them so the puppy will not have to be in cargo. I'm sure you want the dog to be as safe as possible, so let me know where you are. Also, just a quick question, if these dogs can be excersized in a house, why are you getting rid of them because the outside temperatures are too harsh? Just a question. PLEASE send me pictures of all your babies, so I can choose. Thanks.

But before any of this happens I have been talking with my vet and have been advised to get a vet record for these dogs first. please fax me one and i can send you a money order for the cost of it.

Me AGAIN:
Cindy.
I googled your address and found this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...01&btnG=Search
It says this is a scammer's address. Thanks a lot!!! You better prove you aren't a scammer or you will be reported VERY soon. I was going to send you money too!! I am VERY mad, and upset you would do this, It is extremely immoral and MEAN. Please inform me with proof this isn't true.
I wonder if she'll email back....
She finally sent pics, have you guys seen any of these before?
