I’m a new registered member to this site however have been reading posts for a while now.
I’ve read about people and businesses that purchase pups and sell them overseas. I had never experienced this until recently when I was contacted by a very friendly female who was trying to purchase a Pug pup that I had breed. All was going well when suddenly she made an offer to buy two and then three pups? Alarm bells starting ringing. I panicked and didn’t know what to do, I told her that my pups were not for bulk buying and that I had no pups to sell her. Unfortunalty the phone has stopped ringing and I’m struggling to distinguish the difference between genuine and business faking the call to obtain one of my pups.
I hadn’t experienced such offers before however after speaking to a fellow breeder they advised me that this was common practice to wholesale puppy buyers who look to off load bulk puppies overseas.
My question here is whether anybody has experienced such tactics and are there any businesses or individuals that I need to avoid. I know it’s difficult to mention individuals by full name due to defamation, privacy etc, however business names or numbers are not illegal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS This post was not created to offend breeders out there who genuinely supply there pups for overseas export. It’s just that I’ve never heard any good things about dogs being exported.
