Guinea pig boar duo looking for their forever home

• Sellers offering expensive pedigree dogs at discount prices
• Potential sellers offer to meet you away from the house at a location halfway, which may seem like they’re being helpful, when in fact they’re most likely hiding something conspicuous; such as the exact location as to where the puppies were bred
• Sellers not allowing you to see the mum because ‘ they’re at the vets’ or ‘out on a walk’
• Advertising a puppy for sale with a ‘fake’ mum to make it look like they’ve been bred in a family home
• Sellers offering to post the puppies pedigree or medical paperwork
• Sellers asking for deposits up-front before seeing the puppy (which potentially may not exist)
• Puppies displaying health issues such as back problems or snoring and sellers claiming that this is ‘normal’ for the dog breed in question
• Be aware of sellers offering a ‘rare’ breed colour
• Puppies imported from abroad and being sold without the appropriate vaccinations or being sold too young
• If you experience any of the above please makse sure to report the seller to us
