Husky And pomsky

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS

Buyer Beware

Be sure that the seller provides a name and physical address to be sure that they do exist and are reputable breeders. Ask for the names, and photos of the puppy's sire and dam. DO NOT SEND MONEY without a sales contract. Ask for references and check them out.

Puppy Scam Red Flags

Communication is lacking. They won’t talk over the phone. They can only email with you. Try to get them to make a time where they can provide a number for calls or text. If they keep coming up with excuses then move on it’s a scam. They are most likely going to be from another country. They can spoof the number and make it look like a number coming from any state they like. There are services they buy to make this possible.
Prices are too good to be true. Can you buy a husky puppy for 200 dollars or even 500 dollars? I am sure you can go to a back yard breeder and get a puppy for those prices. You will still be more likely to be scammed. If it sounds too good to be true you know it probably is. Even if you get one for that price what did you get? There is no way a breeding pair of puppy parents or litter of puppies was well cared for and got the best possible care and nutrition when you are selling them for almost nothing. They can’t afford to.
As stated no visits even though you are in the same town they claim to be in because they have just moved across country. Insist on sending them that money as mentioned already because shipping is free just pay for the puppy. I have seen a puppy for 400 dollars be advertised to ship for free to anywhere in the USA. This is not even possible.
Visitation to the kennel is not an option
Fake reviews. You can’t sell anything nowadays without reviews. They usually just go out and find reviews to copy and paste to their site from legit sites.They usually work with other scammers or they set up other websites for other breeds and use the same reviews because they are so lazy. We have had a lot of ours stolen and they will even use our whole text on our web pages to make their sites. It’s funny to see a site selling poodles with text talking and mentioning huskies in general from our sites text. You can see this all over the place if you take time to look through and read the site text which you should be doing if you are going to check them out thoroughly before deciding to do business with them
Refusal of some information and/or videos or photos of puppy and parents;

We have had many calls from potential buyers who have lost significant amounts of money only to find out there is no puppy and it is a complete scam. Do your homework, protect yourself, and be sure you are dealing with a reputable breeder.

If you would like to check to see if any seller is a member of the SHCA please contact us, we will verify that information for you.

Things a Reputable breeder will do.

Bottom line is a reputable breeder will talk to you on the phone or text. They will allow you to come to the kennel if that is your wish to meet the parents, puppies, and see their operation. They will usually have a waiting list. Some times they have a puppy come available but it’s more rare. They won’t have a whole litter available or lots of different puppies available. They will have weekly pics available of the whole litter so you can see how they have grown. They will take deposit when you pick up your puppy or ship the puppy you can pay by CASH, DEBITCARD, APPLEPAY, CASHAPP, ZELLE SINCE ALL CAN BE TRACED . We won’t even take a money gram or western union as a form of payment. If you will take a little more time and use this list you will not get scammed and will pay and get that new fury-baby to enjoy a lifetime.
