Description
Their website is almost entirely copied and pasted from other dog breeder websites. They wanted to charge $300 for a puppy delivery but photos given are highly suspect. They would not allow a video call to show the actual puppies or someone visit them in person. As soon as I mentioned having friends that lived in the area of their "supposed" location that would come see them for they cut off all communication. Previously, they did not take any phone calls, only texted and chatted online through their website. They have many testimonials on their website that appear to be copied from other websites or AI generated. They would have taken a puppy deposit and shipping fee had I not started investigating a number of red flags.
