This person supposedly from Tampa, fl. Is a scammer. I put 125.00 deposit and she blocked me or changed her name after she received my deposit. She was selling lhasa apso's plus $#*!zu's. Now after reading about how scammers work she fit it to a tee. Guess I'm the dumb one.

SCAM!
June 27, 2022

Royal city paws mini dachshunds.
First class dachshunds home.
Both sites are scams! Beware! I've paid for a puppy and shipping.
Of course, there was an issue with the shipping crate and they want more money…
Buyer beware!

Spellbound Poms
April 5, 2022

I had a horrible experience and hope nobody else has to go through something like this. Jessica promised me pick of the litter out of either of her February litters and when it came time to pick my puppy all were spoken for, when I asked her about it she stated she would refund my deposit. She later offered me the only lavender female which I was more than excited to get. Now I am told she has health concerns. She held my deposit for almost 4 months and in the end I am not getting a puppy. I totally understand things happen and circumstances change, but there were four puppies in these litters that fit my requirements and yet I wasn't given the opportunity to pick one out. I have all of our texts and am happy to share my experience to help anyone else from going through this If she had been honest with me upfront, I would have just taken my money elsewhere and found my puppy with another breeder.

As a breeder This has been my web site for the past 25 years. I'm extremely thankful for their Service! I've met and adopted out many a puppy over these years... most overall people are very nice and I know that they go to very good homes. In business you will always have miserable unhappy people! They are few but the unhappies are the ones that mostly give the reviews! I've had some miserables, I've made mistakes, I've had a few refunds, and occasionally but rarely genetic problems. There's No Such Thing Friends as a Perfect Record in business. Overall my experience with refunds and a genetic issue has been always amicable. You'll have People you can't ever please, people you can please most of the time some of the time but you will Never Please all the People all the Time! Fact

Thank you Breeder.net For your on going service and Options!

Good concept, but the site owners do a poor job of keeping the site up-to-date. Seems like they're mainly interested in junk advertising, rather than curating and maintaining a list of legitimate puppy breeders. Many of the breeders' listings are at least 3-4 years old, and do not have information about current availabilities. A breeder whose listing lies dormant for more than a year should either be deleted, or labelled 'Inactive'. Otherwise, it becomes a colossal waste of time. Also, breeders who post should be required to list pricing information.

Scam
July 29, 2017

I have put my sire up for over a year and have gotten nothing and the lady keeps calling and says that I'm getting over a hundred hits a month and that she's been doing this for over 15yrs. I think they just want money and is really doing nothing to help.

Just wrong
July 13, 2017

We went to look at/pick up a Yorkie today. When we there we decided to get two sisters. She quoted us a price for the two. Told us where an ATM WAS TO GET THE ADDITIONAL MONEY then changed her mind. We left with nothing. Her house was stinky and dirty and so were the pups. Ann's Yorkie's in Columbus, OH

SCAM! BEWARE!
March 12, 2015

THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE SCAM! They got my credit card # (I don't know how because I have never even heard of this website, so it was stolen by them somehow) and charged on it multiple times the same day until my bank account was depleted! Notice... There is not contact information. Except for a contact box. No physical location or phone number listed on the site. Beware! SCAM SCAM SCAM!

Breeders.net is NOT a scam, but has unfortunately been attacked recently by some talented fraudsters. We now have a handle on their methods and have been successful in blocking them. (They buy stolen credit card info and were using them to create phony listings on breeders.net, and then use the phony listings to scam the public). We have learned how to recognize them and are able to delete their listings right away. We suggest that people who are looking for a puppy take a look at http://www.breeders.net/checklist.php first. Above all, do not send any money for a puppy if you have not been welcomed to come see the puppy and the breeder's facility first.

This site has many scams on it
Breeders use multiple city locations to pull you in.
If you sent them money for a puppy they then try to scam you for flight insurance. An additional 750 for 2 puppies
They got me for the puppies before I woke up

Id love to see a BETTER boxer photo on the boxer page. The one that represents the boxers is a horrible example of our breed.

I OFTEN have problems loading photos to the site.
I have used this site off and on through the years & It would be fantastic to see those two things corrected. Thanks.

I was looking to buy a puppy from one of the breeders you had on your site, after contacting them and emails and texts sent back and forth I picked a puppy and paid for it only to find out it is a scam. The phone that they have been using is a non fixed voip phone with a u.s. number but they are in another country. If you have a website that is suppose to help people you should be more careful of the breeders you allow to be on it.

I came across this "Jason" guy and we were emailing back and forth, then all of a sudden he tells me he lives in Philedelphia, PA and his breeders. Net thing says he lives in LOS ANGELES, then everything he wrote me, was basically what a puppy scam statement says:

Hello,
Thanks for the mail and your interest towards my lovely puppies.
Sorry for the late respond. They are still available to any family
Ready to provide them with enough care and love, were they will be
Well spoiled with all their need. Max is the male and Meli is the
Female, All of them are 11 weeks old, They are champion bloodline, registered AKC, vet check, updated in all shots. Well-tamed and
Potty trained, good associate with kids and other house hold pets
Also very Energetic and eager to learn. They are intelligent,
Independent and courageous. Quick to determine where they fits in a
House hold's "pack." Good companionship and friendly towards new
People. They are pure breed "Siberian Husky puppies"

To begin i will like to know more about you.

-Are you a breeder?
-Are you familiar with this breed of Puppies?
-Do you have kids?
-Do you have a Vet Doctor?
-What is your occupation?
-Give me a Brief Description about your Environment?
-Where exactly are you located?
-Are you interested in both puppies or just one? If one a male or a female?
-Have you Ever arrange for a home delivery for a pet?
-Are you willing to get the puppies delivered to your home address?

Sorry for all this Questions (I mean not to offend you) but just that
I really need a loving home for these puppies, i am located in
Philadelphia, PA. Reason for Re-homing the Puppies is because I just got
My Scholarship to further my course in Hawaii and the Hawaii state's
Authority does not allowed Animal to get into their state due to their
Strong Quarantine restrict Law.

So i need an urgent home for them so badly. I am giving them out for
$350 for one and $600 for both with delivery inclusive, I am not out to
Make money from them because they are very expensive babies i trained
And loved, since they were just like my own children, my main concern
Is to give
Them the best they ever want. All I will like to hear from you is to
Promise me that you would shower them with lots of TLC.
And I would never like that my babies should end up in a shelter or
Rescue., feel free to mail me. If you are willing to get them,
Please e-mail me asap so that I would stop all other contacts. If you
Have any more question to ask I will answer you truthfully and
Faithfully.

Thanks
Best Regard
Jason

He seemed too eager to get my address and he needed it to send the puppy via an airplane transport... do not trust people like him. I unfortunately gave him my information and now he isn't responding... So be careful! Just warning you, don't do what I did.

I have been trying to contact a breeder listed on this site but I don't think that they are getting my message. Must be something wrong with their email forwarding.
