Scammers contact Breeders too! Not solely a Consumer threat.
I receive an average of three scam attempts a week attempting to send me fake forms of payments for puppies and trying to schedule pick up..I have learned well how to recognize such ones.
As far as identifying real breeders online I think the easiest way is for you to google the archive site known as the WAYBACK MACHINE. Then simply type into the search bar the domain of the website you question. If you do not see a history then you have a scammer site. Scammers pull down their fake sites every few months and put up new domains and titles. This is why you will never find any negative reviews since they are always switching out new names and domains.
ANYONE can breed dogs. That means all types characters. I was able identify the breeder who wrote fake reviews on me. I did a criminal background check and found four felony records on her.
ALSO note that I have no less then three reviews written by people who I chose not to sell puppies to. I understand how upset someone can be if I choose that a family doesn’t fit a puppy, so I would never speak to inflame anyone. I have made statements as simple as “ I feel it would be better for you if you purchase in your own area.” That statement earned me a defamatory review where I was labeled all sorts of terrible names.
I’m going to post ONE recent review from 2021 to show you the hate-filled statements simply because I decided not to sell a puppy to this young woman’s aunt. The woman was very distrustful of me and I prefer to choose people who feel comfortable with me. I didn’t tell the woman I preferred not to sell the puppy to her, but just said the puppy “is no longer available”. I did not say the puppy was sold as her niece states. No matter how gentle I try to be some people get filled with rage if they do not get something they want.
