Hi!
Due that i was missing too much my little ones in Peru(3 yorkies) after i moved to England few months ago, my husband said that i could get one myself here in england, we live in a small house but a park next to it and a wide area for playing, but really didn't realize how cruel could people be with their loved ones, and ask for lots of money to get one, somehow i started looking some at an affordable price, or somebody nice who wanted to give their puppy a home were could be loved all the time, more than offering pedigree and papers that i dont really care, just wanted a little one to love( my 3 dogs in Peru are about 7- 11 years old living with my parents), i love dogs some much, well this is the history, looking on internet in diferente sizes i saw ads of people effering dogs for free or even a very cheap price which i though could be a good opportunity, after a few emails they offered me the dog, with too many especifications for free but adding an extra "fee"", according to them shipping fees, they always want to pretend are in Scothland or ISle of Man, and remote places where they know people might not be able to go to see the puppy before, but could trust that if comes with paper, kc, trainning and things and other thing they "OFFER YOU" , somhow we will pay, but please if you see any of those ads, were they offer expensive dogs for low prices, dont listen to them , and report them please, don't leave play with people feelings, you can't imagine how exciting i was feeling when i found i was going to have my puppy, but then my husband told me that was a scammer and all was a lie to get your money and obviously never send you the dog, dropped a few tears and was so dissapointed really.
sometimes they even post they phone number or email, and nothing else.
please be very careful
after 2 months of looking i couldnt get my dog prices are so ridiculous for people that say love their dogs, saddly can't have a big dog, so I'm going to have until going home again and visit my love ones :(.

If you love your dog how you can ask money for it? is not fair or monetize a little thing that only wants to be loved :(,
have a great day and please be careful

Why don't you have a look at the rescue centres, you may find your ideal puppy there. They do sometimes get pedigrees in. The RSPCA had a cavalier king charles spaniel in a few weeks ago,although it did have 2 reserves on it. Good luck with your search.

I beleive that there was a thread on here not long ago about people asking for "shippng fees" for dogs that never materialised...

i was looking at buying a dog and saw one of those adds. i asked the owner if it was still wanting a good home (for free) and they sent me an e-mail. sayin if i send pictures of the dog on its birthday and of the home it will be living in, then i can have the dog but needed to pay shipping fee... and of course it was from the isle of man...
