Prime Poodle is an online breader for poodle puppies located in Spokane, WA. They claim all of their puppies are AKC registered and have been raised in a loving home and are home/potty trained before you receive them. They are around 11 weeks old when you receive the puppy. You contact the company and person by the name of Christ Stout responds asking you for your name, address, what puppy are you interested in, your job, if you are near a vet, etc. She then responds in a day and says she will let you have the puppy for free if you pay the shipping and she will have all the adoption papers ready and will send the puppy to the shipping company. She continues to follow up acting interested in the puppy and wanting to know the flight itinerary of the puppy and her knowing all along this is a scam. I am absolutely devastated. I do not know how we can get this website off of the internet. It is still there along with the puppy we thought we were going to be adding to my family. Please help me stop this and not let them hurt anymore families. I have already filed a police report.

Bought a poodle puppy for 500 dollars – I should have seen the red flags, but I was too excited. I paid with PayPal, but they told me to do it as "friend/family" option, which means you can’t dispute it. The prices were too good to be true, and after I paid them, I never received the puppy and they kept the same listing on the website as for sale.
