I was trying to help a friend locate a Boston Terrier puppy when we stumbled across this website. The first thing I found odd was the language of the site- telling the customer how much they would love the dogs, how their dogs run and play free, how they are bred responsibly, they come with a guarantee etc… all with grammar mistakes. The second odd thing was that they had 13 available puppies. (The reputable breeders sites all contained the opposite information…. no puppies available, sign up for the waitlist, and here’s what we need to know about you and your family before you even consider applying for a puppy).
Again, my friend wanted a puppy so bad that despite already being turned off myself, I continued to dig. I google searched the listed phone number and postings for Corgi puppies and Dachsund puppies, as well as a listing for "PUSH EXPORTER" in GA.
This is where things get fun. I call the number and the first thing out of the gentleman’s mouth is "what puppy do you want to buy". Questions and answers that follow below:
Me- are you the breeder or do you help breeders locate home for their puppies
Gentleman- no, I am the breeder
Me- ok, my brother lives in GA where I see your phone number is, can we come visit and meet the puppies and parents and see the facility
Gentleman- we are actually located in VA
Me- alright, not a far drive for something so important, NBD. Do you breed any other dogs or just Boston Terriers?
Gentleman- just Boston Terriers, we are not a puppy mill (mind you, I never called him one)
Me- ok… curious then why a google search of your phone number pulls up other puppies that are not Boston’s
Gentleman- we are a group of breeders, I help my friends…
You get the point. He stumbled for answers and got caught up in lies. He also pushed the "what puppy do you want to buy" question on me again.
Please shut this guy down! God only knows what life is like for those poor puppies and their parents!
