Granted, the source isn't the best, but this documentary on scamming in dog dealing is very entertaining.
If you don't want to wade through people wailing about how their "in breed" bulldog and Yorkshire Terrier puppies were sick/defective, skip to the second video. There a man purchased a "trained guard dog" for $6500 USD. The dog is a sweet, gentle, confused Rottweiler that doesn't appear to know anything beyond her name.
Not that I don't find these practices absolutely abhorrent, but I nearly fell out of my chair for laughing about the "trained guard dog". At least it looks like the buyer will keep her -- I doubt he actually needed a guard dog anyway, if he didn't know enough to check into things more closely before spending $6500. The "breeder" is also amusing -- maybe it's a cultural difference, but I wouldn't trust someone who presents themselves like that to tell me the time of day. It's a shame there's no help for the sick and damaged dogs that are being brokered by people like these, or the miserable breeding stock used to produce them.

When I went to the bank to wire money for my puppy this spring, I got a lengthy warning from the banker about her friend who bought a GSD pup for $3500 on the internet and the dog came to her deathly ill with a lot of temperment issues as well. She made it a point the next time I was in the drive-up to come up to the window and ask how it went and if I was happy with my puppy. I, of course, am thrilled to death with her but I'm not exactly an uninformed buyer, either.
Sadly, for every jerkoff selling tin foil as gold there's some ignorant yahoo waving his money in the air, desperate to get in line to buy. It never ends.
