Scam Description
Website claims to have long-haired dachshund puppies available at half of the typical cost. Information on the website has grammatical errors and strange wording. There is no information visible on where the breeder is located, although I was told via email that they are based in Cleveland, Ohio. There’s also no social media or phone number listed. The info pages don’t talk about what they say they talk about. The website used named a cat breed when describing how dogs have always been a part of their life. Their ‘Shipping’ page doesn’t talk about shipping or delivery at all. And then I found a report on petscams.com about them from Paul Brady on July 25, 2022 with additional information about it being a scam. When I submitted a contact form on the website (before I suspected a scam), I received a reply from a different email address than the one listed on the website. They also sent photos and videos of the puppy.
