Goldendoodles, Maltipoos, Morkies – mixed dog breeds are hugely popular these days. But finding a local breeder can be challenging. That’s why some eager pet owners start looking online. But our I-Team has a warning before you do.
Gilchrist thought the breeder was legitimate, based on the customer reviews on his website. But the I-Team found those exact same reviews, word for word, on similar-looking sites selling different dog breeds. The dog Gilchrist bought, Nina, is still listed for sale on Charley Morkie Pups, but we also found this exact same picture of her for sale on a different site under the name Joules. The I-Team reached out to Charley Morkie Pups but didn’t get a response.
“Every year I think we break records in the number of complaints we’re getting about breeders and pet scams,” said McFarland. He says in 60% of the complaints he gets about breeders, the consumer never got the puppy they bought and never got their money back. McFarland says before buying a dog from any breeder, you need to do a lot of research. Ask the breeder to connect you with past clients, to see a veterinarian report for the puppy you’re interested in buying, and to meet with you via Zoom if they can’t meet in person.
“In those conversations you should be asking, ‘Hey can you put me on cam so I can see Fluffy? You want to have live conversations with this breeder who can give you references and historical facts about the pet,” said McFarland.“I’m just going to go there and get a second-chance dog, for sure,” she said.
