HOME PAGE for Roxies Doxies

  PLEASE BEWARE OF SCAMS on Facebook pages and websites selling Dachshunds, whether it's one pup posted, or several listed. They are cropping up daily, in droves~~STOP scrolling their pages & liking them & don't comment on them. There are red flags to search for.  Scammers change their names & locations. If the Facebook page has all new listings the day you see it, or 2 days ago...it's a FAKE site. 

There are a lot of fake FB pages with fake friends to make it look like they are a regular FB person. They are evil thieves.  As soon as they are found out, they change their name & state.  When you ask where they are, they will ask where you are & tell you they are in another state so you won't drive over. This is happening daily.

 Scam sites show a variety of perfect puppy photos. You won't realize it, but they are stealing breeders' photos & descriptions. If you are unsure, ask to see a current photo of same pup with today's date written on paper with that pup, or to do facetime on your phone.

 They require deposits to be sent thru Walmart money grams or gift cards, sometimes to be sent to a different person. Get a phone # & talk with whoever is suppose to be handling the pup.

 They offer all the pups posted at the same price, with relatively inexpensive prices (compare prices with other breeders--we are pretty much in the same ball park for price differences of solid colors vs. dapples & piebalds).

 They offer special discounts (coupons) on pups & offer FREE shipping. Watch for the special offer for two (or three!) pups to go together (now you are loosing double your $$).

 No reputable breeder will send pups to you for free. There are also scammers that say they will transport your pup, but you send your money but that person turns out not to be a transporter. Use a reputable ground transporter that your breeder can refer you to. Google the transporter & inquire on FB of their reputation, same as you would the breeder in question.

Another red flag that they message you.."There's a down payment for transfer of ownership & vet check."  SCAM!

 Be patient if you don't see Doxie pups available in your area. A day's travel time is fine to get your pup. (A pet transporter has several pick ups & deliveries & they do take care of them for several days at a time.) Having a pup shipped clear across the country can be risky in more ways than one, the first being the health of the pup. Ask to be on the wait list with breeders close to you. Keep checking back once a month to let them know your are still looking & interested. It's a courtesy to let them know when you do find your baby...just drop a text or email. I am always glad to hear you've found your baby, since I won't have enough pups for everyone that contacts me.  ~Roxie
