 I understand a lot of people looking to purchase a new pet online have never done so, so let me start off by saying that purchasing a new pet online can be a very rewarding experience so long as you use common sense. Always be willing to walk away! Never go into it thinking you HAVE to have that puppy, kitten or what ever the pet may be, that is what scammers are banking on. Never let a "Breeder” pressure you into buying on the spot, telling you they have numerous inquires, again they are banking on you already being in love with the picture.

Trust there are many more "Real” babies around the next corner. A reputable Breeder is NEVER going to offer "Free” shipping. Shipping cost typically cost between $250-$400 depending on the airline and size of pet being shipped as well as health certificate that has to be issued within 10 days of shipping date and airline approved crate for pet to travel in. Never fall for the last minute "air conditioned” crate for which you will be reimbursed for once you pick up the pet. This is not a thing. If you are within driving distance of the pet you are interested in and that pet is said to be "ready to go” in my opinion there is no need to pay a deposit.

Yes you may run the risk of "loosing out” should someone come behind you and are willing to give a deposit or full payment however chances are they are loosing their money simply because if you are speaking to a reputable Breeder and are within driving distance they will be willing to give you 24 hrs to pick up said pet. Breeders LOVE to talk about their babies and parents and are willing to answer any questions you should have, most welcome the questions as it tells them you are truly interested in the animal and want to provide the best possible home that you can. Don’t be scared to ask the Breeder for their vet reference and don’t be afraid to research the name they give you, ask for the names & numbers of other adopters, again they should be happy to supply you with that information. Ask about health testing the parents have had and proof of such results.

Every breed has known genetic health issues that the Breeder should at the very least be informed about. Breeder should offer a health guarantee for atleast a year, some offer longer depending on the specific health related issue to their breed because some issue can’t even be detected until the animal is a year or two old so offering a 12 month guarantee doesn’t do much good in that instance. Ask about registry options, are parents registered with AKC (dogs) or CFA or TICA (cats) and if so do they offer full registration on their babies or is it limited registration meaning no breeding or showing for dogs or no breeding for cats? I actually had a scammer tell me just today in response to me asking about health testing on parents that their puppies were AKC registered therefor parents were health tested because AKC requires health testing in order to register?

This of course is a complete false statement and when I told them that wasn’t true their response was simply for me to have a nice day!!! They knew then I knew they were a scam. When it comes to payment and how you are asked to make payment pay attention, those asking for green dot cards, western union, Walmart to Walmart payments are very risky because they can’t be traced and once money is gone it’s gone. Even PayPal isn’t secure because they don’t offer protection on live animal sales so again my advice if animal is ready to go it is best to offer cash upon pick up and if pet is still too young placing a deposit isn’t uncommon for reputable breeders however it will never be payment in full and so everything you can to verify they are legit and the animal they are advertising is really available and their animal. Ask to do a live video chat, ask for a current picture with your name, name of baby & that days date on a piece of paper next to the baby. Also pay attention to the pictures they are sending, you can do searches online to see if they have been used elsewhere also I had someone offering me a female puppy send pictures that clearly showed it was a male puppy and although kittens can be hard to sex at young ages puppies not so much!

Lastly if the price seems too good to be true trust that it is. A reputable Breeder puts a lot of time & money into raising their babies from giving mom proper vetting and nutrition during pregnancy and after delivery to properly vetting and caring for babies before they can go to their new homes, this isn’t by any means cheap so when someone tells you they are selling an AKC full reg French Bulldog of rare color for $600 with free shipping that is very much a scam even if they were charging $1,000 I would be a little suspicious. I know this has been long but hopefully it can help just one person from losing their hard earned money and from having their hopes, dreams & heart stomped on.
