questionable Breeder?

Amanda28 · Apr 8, 2014

Hey everyone! I have been looking for a good breeder and have been in contact with a woman who breeds from her home in Minnesota. She seems legit, but her prices are much lower than others I have spoken with. Just wondered if anyone had heard of her or seen her website/puppy's?? I don't want to buy from an irresponsible breeder or puppy mill. I copied the link to her website and posted it below. Thanks for any advice!!

I clicked on the link and it seems like a COMPLETE scam!!

The grammar is off in the welcome page and that is the number one thing to look for! "Present their breeding means a little bit about yourself , how it
grows and turns a passion into a job and work like this totally
absorbs you and makes you dependent. I had my first French Bulldog in
1998 was a female of great character that made me fall in love for his
remarkable intelligence and vivacity , love was a huge , made of a
gradual knowledge that led me to want to share my life with this
amazing race ....."

Don't do it!

This just screams SCAM!!! Dont do it! The grammar is totally off, google translater was probably used. I think its a puppy mill or broker or a money scam!
Just ask them for their AKC number and then call the AKC to confirm. Also ask if you can come see the puppy at their place. Im sure they will make up an excuse or just ignore you after these two questions.

No, no, no! I totally agree with everyone else! Absolutely a scam. (And seriously? They're advertising their puppies 40% off?!? Really?)

I had to step in and remove the link to the website as we are unable to post links to breeders or openly discuss particular breeders. If anyone wants to have a discussion through PM's about a particular breeder, that is fine. We just can't discuss them in the forums.

Thanks for understanding!

Well, Now we will all be curious and I understand not promoting a breeder but protecting people from fraud is different.

Well, I missed this one, but good suggestion to ask for their AKC number and to visit their kennels!

Maybe I should elaborate just to clear things up. It's totally okay to discuss a breeder but we can't mention the name of them or post links to their websites or ads for pups for sale. If you want to mention the name...that part has to be done in PM's
