Squidgy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 If its legit I feel for the poor puppies....BYB & Puppy farm bonanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 give them a call and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidgy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Think I might ay....but even if its legit I am not in a position to look after anymore dogs... the advert just boggled my mind as I know frenchies are very expensive puppies and hard to breed to most need a c section to give birth and AI to even fall pregnant so this free price tag minus vet bills thing concerned me a little bit.

efowler Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Very strange!! If you call them and it isn't a scam let me know as I'm sure many rescue's would help to rehome pups. I am a massive frenchie fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Suss them out :) - ask what lines they are bred from ...how all the health test results look, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I live in the Sutherland shire - can possibly transport to rescue if they're legit and any can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidgy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 I just texted them will ring them properly tomorrow and suss them out properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidgy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 I live in the Sutherland shire - can possibly transport to rescue if they're legit and any can help. We will have to wait and see but yes if they are legit I think if rescuers get in first and desex these little things they will be able to save alot of dogs being turned into ATMS for future BYBS and PF'S :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidgy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 curiosity got the better of me I rang now... but no answer their phone was switched off I just don't see why they would try and scam people though.... that is why I am thinking legit if people are able to view them it puts my mind more towards legit.... BUT then again they could have a litter of stolen french bulldogs and trying to cash in on them by faking vaccinations/microchips OR collecting deposits for puppies that will never reach those people that come to see them..... I am a sceptic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It may be worth your while to email them on a Yahoo/Hotmail/GMail account and say that you live in Townsville or Darwin or somewher remote to the sellers location, and ask if you can make arrangements to fly the pup to you...this usually brings out the scammers (if they are a scammer) as the idea is to get your money for the transport (usually through Cameroon Airways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic.B Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It may be worth your while to email them on a Yahoo/Hotmail/GMail account and say that you live in Townsville or Darwin or somewher remote to the sellers location, and ask if you can make arrangements to fly the pup to you...this usually brings out the scammers (if they are a scammer) as the idea is to get your money for the transport (usually through Cameroon Airways) This is true. They get you to pay for transport up front, will do the same for chipping and vaccination fee. The money for chipping and vac's x god knows how many people can add up to a lot. Saying the parents can be viewed is used to lull people into a false sense of security. They are long gone after the money goes into their account. Having said that, if they are legit the puppies need out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
