dabloobana Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Due to my recent searches, Big brother google decided to show me a labs-for-sale-website. Its a wierd site, yes the prices are like WOW but something seems fishy. No geographical location, no internet presence ever, no reviews re the site (positive or negative) Its so dodgy its funny. Please read all sections including customer reviews, "shipping". (is frozen water the correct way??!!) seems super dodgy to me but maybe its because of my lack of knowledge.

old'un Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Does look at bit suspicious, although having said that, the website looks well put together but the suspicious part is the domain was only registered a month ago and WHOIS data is hidden, yet they claim to have been trading for 10 years? Which is possible, but I find it hard to believe they have only just decided to have a web presence. They could be legit, but think its one to avoid.

LeedsZeppelin Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) That website looks well sketchy. I'd give it a wide berth. A ten week old puppy photographed in snow, and another next to a pumpkin? There is quiet a few fake puppy seller scams about now. Facebook is full of them. I'd suggest not handing over any money or deposit until you can visit a pup. Any credible breeder will understand this, be suspicious of those that don't.

bigbird Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Very suss if you ask me! And why have AKC reg puppies for sale in the U.K.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Pics obviously stolen from America, use of American terms, AKC, Potty, American climate and pumpkins, for sale on a dodgy website with no history, reviews or links to the UK. Phone them up, bet they have a dodgy accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Seems totally legit to me, who in the UK hasn't had snow on their American porch with a pumpkin on it lately. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 My favourite quote "we don’t fly the puppies in the cargo section of the plane, they are actually shipped in the passenger section of the plane together with pet nannies until delivery is completed." That makes it great value, a passanger ticket for the dog and its nanny plus a lab for £500, it's got to be genuine 😂😂🤣🤣😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

243deer Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I cannot believe how many of you even bothered looking when the OP has 7 posts - but then that is what scam sites rely on, the gullible and those that do not pay attention not having a go here but please be a bit more careful folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would value experienced members' opinions https://zanzilabrador.co.uk/ Lack of knowledge or not if you cant see thats a con you must need you eyes and brain testing. Dont worry try thease chaps one is even in Norfolk. People might just have to except that the price a of a good dog that is going to work hard for you has gone up. Its been low for a long time and while everything else has gone up with inflation dogs have generally not. As much I hate to say it but the pandemic and stupid people thinking oh lets get a dog on a whim has caused this but it has. There is always the option of waiting until next year when people go back to the office etc and get a rescue dog but then you will have to put in the hard work to gain the trust of the dog. A dog trainer might only be able to do so much the rest has to come from the owner. My advise is buy local and somebody you know is a reputable breeder.

Yes very fishy. I am posting a site thats dodgy. Not claiming its my site. Not vouching for it. Not promoting it. Im Saying its dodgy. Im Not selling anything. Im Not asking for money. Also since Im so fishy, and had only 7 posts (you checked), it would have only taken another click to see my intro. Also i can understand if maths is not someones strong point so heres a refresher: 24 April 2012 (my joining date) is 9 years before 24 april 2021. Anyways nothing i can say will convince you, so let me make it easier for you all: Dear admin, i am very fishy. My posts are fishy. Yes its my website which i am promoting. Hope that satisfies you.
