Scammer uses this for puppy transportation?

If you ask to see paperwork, coming from AKC or CKC go to the website and verify it's actually from their organization. Ask what the airline is they use, whether it's cargo or inflight.
Told me inflight but then was going to charge for a carrier for cargo: RED FLAG!
Quoted cheaper price on both the price of the pet and could not possibly fly that far for that small amount extra for transport WITH A NANNY! (Return flight for gosh sakes RED FLAG!)
When given the name of the carrier for pet transportation website, phone number on site out of service and email doesn't work.
Reported to the scammer and minutes later had "new" email to try to reach them for a reference.
Reference reports no scam just delivered guys dogs to Alberta two weeks ago.
How old was the pup? 11 weeks he says.
Scammer told me pups were 8 weeks old today.
Guy says he just drops off live animals from Virginia to New York for flight out but does not name the airline/transport carrier.
Does not discuss:
GST bringing animal over the border due on price paid and flights, etc. on pet coming into Canada.
Does not discuss CBSA paperwork for importing an animal from another country into Canada.
Does not know that the CKC has been lobbying on behalf of breeders and rescuers to let dogs under 6 months old cross the US/Canada border but as of a few days ago according to latest update that is not allowed. Anyone want to help clarify this one for me would be most appreciated.
However, scammer did not realize this was a thing for a while now. I think it's to cut down on the puppy sales scams forcing people to buy more local dogs instead thus helping with dogs available in your home country ready and available instead of importing.
He did ask me what I wanted the new name to be, showed a video, and another one but it wasn't the same pup as the first video even though it looked similar.
Even the people in the video did not match the people selling the pups and facebook kept sending me to places where there should be reviews but could not find any reviews.
I said, how come you can send me reviews but they aren't on your fb page? RED FLAG!
One scammer used his own creative talents for reviews and when you look up in the address bar it's his own name spelled forwards and then on the other review it was his name reversed and not the name he gave me as his own for the purpose of knowing who I was talking to. The other three references were new facebook profiles stolen from other people's pages.
Another scammer:
How come the post on fb is the same one over and over again but with different people and different pups and the same story for months of mama dying but pups are fat and healthy and no reviews, only one reference, very little friends no photos, videos, life history, etc.
One scammer even had pics of his real dogs and just keeps selling puppies he doesn't have off of pictures of the ones he used to have.
If your bank stops the payment and calls you for a fraud alert, that guy is a really good scammer. Listen to the fraud people. Stop the payment. Look elsewhere or do more research. They have the goods on them but are unable to prosecute and pull them off the media.
Thanks Liberal government for opening the door for the cyber criminals.
So there's that.
Actual breeders can answer questions about the health, breeding parentage, how many litters, experiences both in breeding, parenting and rehoming their litters. They prefer to talk to you on the phone and in person rather than make a deal with texting or social media, which to them is just the media to make the introductions. Make sure you talk to them on the phone or zoom!
Good breeders have high standards for pet parents because these are the children of the breeders and it is a serious relationship bonded for all time. They take the time to ensure the right puppy gets to the right situation for the right character of the puppy.
Some dogs have jobs. Some are entertainment but all of them are a part of us. Being scammed for love is a traumatic burden to bear.
Let's be careful out there.

Beware that up to 80 percent of websites advertising dogs for sale online are actually nothing more than puppy scams. Here's how to spot them.

Today is a day I'll not soon forget..
As I was combining today, I was unloading into the auger cart and I saw a vehicle go by a couple times slowly and then pull over and stop. I had a minor repair to make and the vehicle stayed... I was a little concerned until I happened to catch 3 little sets of eyes looking out windows.
I went over and they rolled down the window and I asked if they needed anything and the lady explained their grandchildren were visiting from Florida and had never seen "farmer stuff" up close. There were 2 boys and a little girl.. I'd assume they were between the ages of 6 and 9. The two boys were all giddy but the little girl, while sweet and excited was pretty quiet.
I also happen to notice that she kept turning away from me and there was a scar or a birthmark or something on her face... And I felt really bad trying to figure out what it was because I was feeling like I'm staring at her..
The grandmother and her husband thanked me for stopping and saying hi and said they would get going because they knew farmers were busy this time of the year... And I said be careful and have a good trip...
It was then that one of the boys said are you going to be going soon cuz we would like to see what that machine does... the grandmother quickly quieted them and I said would it be okay if I took them for a ride...
She then said No we're sure your way too busy for that and I said no I'm by myself for now I've got time so she asked the two boys if they wanted to go and of course they did but the little girl stayed back.
I asked her again if she wanted to go and she said no thank you and so the boys and I went and got in the combine and we made one round and came back... While in the combine I said why didn't your sister want to come... they said shes shy. I then, because of curiosity, asked them about her face... And they told me it was a birthmark and that she gets picked on about it a lot.
After their ride I walked them back over to their grandparents car and I said to the little girl How come you didn't want to go for a ride? And she said well the boys always say that that kind of stuff is just for boys not for girls...
I laughed and said You know, there are girl farmers AND I even had a young girl in that cab just yesterday. Would you like a ride? She looked at her Grandma and she said go ahead if you want.
I then asked the grandmother if she had a smartphone and knew how to video... She laughed and said I have grandchildren of course I know how to video... So I told her have your phone ready and when you see me turn on the yellow flashing lights video the combine.
The little girl and I got in the cab and I turned the machine around and went back into the field at the end of it and came back facing her grandparents vehicle. I then said to her...here.. you can turn the steering wheel... she first looked at me like I was on crack co***ne... But I finally convinced her and I told her not everybody gets to do this but people that are part of the special face Club definitely get to...but its a secret reason why you get to drive so you cant tell anyone. We even pinky swore on it...
The smile she had made this old tired grumpy mans heart soft and there must have been some Bean dust in the cab because my allergies started acting up just a little bit... So I let her "steer" and turned on the yellow lights on the way back so her Grandma could video tape her "driving by".
We got out of the combine and she still had a huge smile on her face and ran over to her grandma and was a little Chatterbox did you see me did you see me I got to drive I got to drive... Her brothers were obviously a little miffed... And ask her why she got to drive... I was afraid she was going to tell them why... But with all the sass of a little brunette girl with her hair in a pony she looked at them both matter-of-factly and said Because girls CAN farm.
My allergies started acting up a little bit again as she came back running over to me and gave me a huge hug and told me thank you... The grandfather came over and patted me on the shoulder shook my hand said I don't know what you said to her...but that's the biggest smile we've seen on her this vacation so far... the boys shook my hand and thanked me and got back into the vehicle and drove away... Leaving me to my thoughts
And all I could think of was if one of the combines hadnt broke down yesterday, I wouldn't have been in that field this morning, and I wouldnt have been by myself and we would have been really pushed wherever we were at to keep up with everything...and it proved to me once again everything happens for a reason...
All three of their faces were on my mind the rest of the day but mostly hers... not because of her birthmark, because of her genuine smile in the confidence that she showed when she got to get out of that combine and "brag" a little to the boys.
My gramps told me long ago to always be patient with children and people you come in contact with. I remember the countless times that he would let me "drive" the tractor... and the exhilaration and happiness that I felt during that time... And I swore that I was going to make other people feel that way when I got older... and I've definitely failed at that numerous times.. but I'm trying..
But, Im kind of thinking maybe that's what I did today or maybe that little girl made me feel like that little boy with his Gramps all those years ago.
30 minutes out of 24 hours... I need to do that more often....
Today was a good day... and one I shall not soon forget.

New Kefir🥛🦠 Canine Study Highlights:

🫙 Kefir is a traditional dairy product with multiple probiotic characteristics that boosts the immunity and overall gastrointestinal health of animals.

🫙 Dietary supplementation of kefir improved protein digestibility of food and reduced serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

🫙 Kefir reduced faecal ammonia and increased SCFAs.

🫙 Kefir could be further developed as a functional dietary food supplement to improve the quality of life of dogs.

This week on the Inside Scoop, we’re discussing our favorite must-have home remedies, rather than reaching for over-the-counter medicated treatments.

If you’ve been a pet parent long enough, you’ve faced unexpected problems like morning “hunger” pukes, runny stools, or itchy hot spots.

First, your vet should always be the first person you call when your furry beloved isn’t feeling well or shows unusual symptoms! Often times, though, our pets have common ailments that don’t always require a rush to the vet (and having the right products, foods, or herbs at home can help your pet recover quickly!).
Join us this Sunday at 12pm EST, where we’ll share Dr. Karen Becker’s must-have pantry staples for quick and easy remedies to common pet ailments, including:

🤢 Upset stomachs & bile pukes
💩 Loose stool & diarrhea
🙉 Ye**ty, itchy ears
🧴 Hot spots & itchy skin
👁 Eye infections..and much more!

🚨Dr. Becker’s Essential Home Remedies⛑️

If you’ve been a pet parent long enough, you’ve faced unexpected problems with your fur-baby such as morning “hunger” pukes, loose stools or minor scrapes.

And though prescription and OTC meds have their place when used under the direction of a veterinarian, there are effective, science-based alternatives to help your pet feel better!

Tune in this Sunday on the Inside Scoop live episode at 12pm ET, where we’re sharing our favorite at-home remedies you should have in your pantry for these unexpected everyday illnesses.

We’ll be covering common ailments, including:

😿 Upset stomach and “bile pukes🤮”
💩 Loose stool and diarrhea
👂🏼 Ye**ty, itchy ears
🩹Wounds, hot spots, eye infections👁️…and more!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
