Well good glad those moderators are hard at work!! Now it will be nice to see that go for the whole site and maybe some reasonable sense will come back here.
Where I left off in a matter of words ....not cut and pasted but typed with my own two fingers... two of them taped together as so they will not type profanities.
So and so..... wrote me back to say that: The picture was provided to her while she was away being trained. She sent her for training for 5 months and requested periodic pictures and that was one of five or six pictures that was sent to her.....
So the guy I talked to today said he asked for more pictures and the lovely lady who was selling my dog sent him additional pictures of my dogs in front of the fireplace also from my website. So this person is selling a dog that received 5 months of training she sent her off for but did not recognise her own dog in pictures?? After just 5 months? And in that amount of time the dog was trained in all 3 phases of SchH, a drug detection dog and is good for SAR...........BUT does not do well in a kennel?? So that is why it was sent off to one then right?? Oh and for 2K you can wire her money for this great bitch to be delivered. When the guy questioned her about the delivery and not wiring more money because something did not seem right this person then claimed how they had raised this dog from a puppy and loved her dearly .... bla bla bla.... loved her so much they did not know the difference when 5-6 pictures of the dog were sent right?? Funnier to me....well scary actually is that this person actually wrote me back to explain why they used my picture saying it was the one given to them by the trainers... Honestly...
I just bought a stud dog from someone I had not done business with before. I got a copy of her drivers License, a recent Utility Bill, I took all of the wire information I was given and I called her bank.. told them I did not know her and was making a purchase for considerable amount of money. While a bank can not tell you information on an account, they can verify the name, account numbers the duration the account has been open and if there was any suspicious activity on the account as long as you provide them all the information you have on the account. I matched the wire info to the drivers license and also the utility statement. I also asked for references of people ( not friends) that this person had sold dogs to and the names of the dogs. I then looked up the dogs to see if I could find where they were on websites and then made sure the contact information for them matched what I was given of the references.Then I called and checked the references and asked tons of questions. It may seem like a PIA and in the past I have had people get really irritated and say I have other people interested and to that I say keep your emotions out of it. If they can not provide you the answers you need to make you feel secure in the sale and the information on the dog then don't buy it. You should never be pressured into sending your money now or being told someone else is going to if you are in the middle of the transaction and actively working out the deal and details that it takes to complete the sale.... any reputable breeder or person selling should understand and be willing to provide the info... at the same time you can not be a tire kicker just wasting peoples time because nobody needs that either.
This is what I now do when I am buying a dog. It does not prevent me from getting ripped off but it does protect me and also lets that person think twice if they are planning to get your money and run... if all else fly out and bring the dog back with you. If you are buying in the US being out a round trip air ticket is better than being out the full cost of a dog. You
