Re: hi there

hi and welcome to the forum.
buying from an add yu've seen on the internet to me is no different to buying any other way...just make sure you ask all the right questions,and when you go and see the pup you want, dont buy it just because it looks cute.they all do.
i'm sure you will get lots of advice from other members.good luck..
what breed of dog are you looking for?

Re: hi there

Hello and welcome
As Janice said you really want to meet the breeders, the puppies and their mother. Here's a sticky from this site:
Advice on buying a puppy.

What kind of pup are you looking for?

Re: thankyou

I m looking for an english bulldog, the thing is i found an advert in edinburgh emailed an spoke to the seller he has now moved to plymouth so once i chose from pictures which puppy i wanted he would arrange for puppy to be pet couriered to me at the cost of £150 pay on delivery, i thought great this sounds brilliant almost too good.......till this afternoon 12pm i receive email from worlwide pet shippers asking for payment upfront and paid into an account in the british islands of cameroon when i was told i could pay on delivery initially. if i make payment within the hour i woould be guaranteed the puppy on my doorstep by 4pm this afternoon, i live in castle douglas dumfries and galloway in scotland, the puppy is still in plymouth. My husband feels that this has been a total scam I don t know wot to think i had got my heart set on the one i liked

What do you think

Re: hi there

Well your husband is right. It is definitely a scam and a common one. Here's a warning from consumers direct. (You have to scroll to the bottom)

Consumer Direct - African puppy scam warning

If you want a Bulldog puppy I'd get in touch with The English Bulldog Club. Here's a link all the regional clubs are listed at the bottom.
Bulldog Breed Standard - The Kennel Club

I know there are a few Bulldog owners here and I'm sure they can offer more help.

Re: hi there

Hi and welcome to the forum

It's definately a scam Don't fall for it .

It is best if you can get to see a pup before you buy it, then you get to see its parents hopefully and see what kind of temperament they have, you can see what conditions it is being kept in and if it looks healthy and lots of other things. I personally would never buy a pup without seeing it first.
