(The last one is to spot fraud in emails) It is my own opinion, but have you thought about getting a rescue dog from your local shelter? They make excellent pets, plus you can SEE it. Do yourself & a dog a favor.

We were looking for a Golden Retriever pup for our family and this man told us his "Gran mum" died and had 2 pups and we could have one. All we needed to do was pay the carrier $150 when he delivered the dog. Wanted our info, ie, address, phone numbers, when is the best time.....we only conversed through email. I gave him me cell number and told him that I would like to talk, he never called. Well, you know the saying, "If it sounds to good to be true........"
