Everybody looking for a puppy online should be aware that on
most puppy websites there are a lot of so called "back-yard"
breeders selling their dogs, breeders that only breed for
money and don't care much about their puppies and surely do
not care about the puppy parents they are servicing.
You
will see videos but no individual pictures of puppies or
birthdates. This is because they have something to hide. It
is important to get as much info on a puppy as possible
before you choose a puppy and all that information should be
posted and available.
One
should ask ones self why the breeder they are considering is
not registered as a legal business?
As
of Jan 2010 all Shorkie Club Of America Breeders are
REQUIRED to run a
legal business that is registered with the state they are
working in. As the founder of the Shorkie Club Of America we
believe it is important for puppy parents to have the right
to know their rights and be protected by the law.
Buying from unlicensed breeders that are running
illegal business will ensure that you are high risk to be
scammed online. If they are not a legal business do not do
business!
Breeding dogs is a very serious business and should be ran
as such.
Many
of these illegal businesses buy and resell puppies so you
really never know where your puppy is coming from.
You
must understand when looking for a puppy that
Internet scammers
(BREEDERS!!!) are luring online puppy buyers with cute
pictures and false promises, taking would-be dog owners for
an emotional and financial ride.
Several
organizations report an increasing number of complaints
concerning online pet sales, including the American Kennel
Club, the Council of Better Business Bureaus, the Humane
Society of the United States and the Internet Crime
Complaint Center
Nobody wants to get
scammed and lose
money
or end up buying a sick puppy that costs you thousands of
dollars in medical bills. , but with so many online
Shorkie
breeder and puppy
options these days, it can be difficult to
tell who is telling the truth and who is lying.
The key to finding
the perfect Shorkie breeder and perfect Shorkie puppy is
devoting your time to research to ensure that the end result
is a happy ending
The rise of online Shorkie
breeder and many dog breeders in general , has also led to a
rise in criminals ready to cash in on the unsuspecting.
Criminals target Internet users by copying and
mimicking legitimate businesses such as ours at Priceless
Pups.
You would be shocked at the
amount of times our photos have been stolen and used by
other breeders to try and sell their own puppies.
The breeder you work with
should have a business license they can provide you with if
you ask for one.
Don't get scammed online ..
Make sure you are dealing with a real business that is
registered with the government so that you are protected
online.
The mass
production of irresponsibly bred puppies from non health
screened parents should never be condoned – neither should
the fact that these mass produced puppies are destined for
sale by these unlicensed breeder and illegally ran dog
websites.
You
have a choice the dogs and puppies do not.
