• RED FLAGS: price ($655 for puppy, and $145 for travel - way too low), immediate availability, no pics of the parents, no progressional pics of the puppy, various backgrounds and vastly different looking background locations, and no application for adoption. Anyone who has done even a little searching for a puppy knows legitimate breeders include ALL this information on their websites, and that Golden Retrievers are typically very hard to find and not immediately available at rock bottom prices. There are also several yellow flags but I won't go through those here. I filled out their very short little form on the CONTACT US page, and was called within 10 minutes but I didn't answer because it was just a person's name I didn't know....caller ID said MIKE BAILEY. They left no VM but immediately sent me a text from the same phone #...asking which puppy I was interested in. As I had stated on the CONTACT US page, I wasn't immediately interested but had a few questions. I asked if he got my questions, and he just replied "please ask them here". I understand a breeder may be a busy person, and I wasn't immediately thinking this was a SCAM, so I listed out my questions.
• WHY I BECAME SUSPICIOUS: His answers to my few questions were partial and contradictory to what the website said. After not answering part of my question, I told him I think he misunderstood and asked my questions again but very clearly....how many Golden parents do you breed...how many females and how many males. I also asked if he could provide me with pics of the parents of the current litter, and if I could hold a puppy from a future litter if I liked the way the parents looked. At this point, he no longer replied and there has continued to be no contact now for approx 24 hrs. Mind you, I didn't ask a lot of questions and he provided very short, limited or contradictory information with what the website said. He claimed to be located in "Ohio" but his website actually lists several locations not including Ohio. His very first question was "what puppy are you interested in?" which seemed like a request to get down to business. He didn't ask my name, where I was located, please fill out an adoption form, etc. This is NOT the way a real and responsible breeder would behave.
• CONCERNS AND SUGGESTIONS: Based on information I've read from others who have been scammed with online puppy sales, I believe this is absolutely a site to be leary of, and may be the same person who has taken other's money then disappeared without delivering the puppy they paid for. *Please don't get emotionally attached to a picture unless and until you've don't your homework and are certain the person you are talking to is legit and the puppy is available from this person. Ask a LOT of questions and demand full and complete answers to your questions. A true, honest breeder knows answering questions is part of the job! Also, expect a reputable breeder to ask YOU a lot of questions, and if they get to the part of payment too quickly, don't walk away....RUN! My information here may shut down his current scam site, but like a cockroach, he will reappear somewhere else!
