A common scam when buying a dog: Lying about your age

As we all know, the smaller the dog, the harder it is to maintain it. Strictly speaking, puppies cannot leave their mother's arms until they are half a year old. The mother's milk contains antibodies, which can help the puppies strengthen their immunity. And since current kennel breeding only involves two litters a year, it is difficult to buy puppies around 6 months old. Some businesses even sell puppies that are one or two months old, or even sell puppies that are less than one month old. Such puppies are very difficult to maintain, so how should buyers identify them? Generally speaking, you can know the approximate age of a puppy by looking at its teeth. So when buying a puppy, you might as well take a look at its teeth. If the teeth are not even straight, then don’t buy it.

Generally when buying a pet, we will say, don’t buy a puppy with eye mucus or runny nose, or a puppy with dirty ears, or Puppies with clean anus. Some businesses take advantage of this and give pets a bath or hairdressing before selling them, and describe long-haired dogs as short-haired dogs, such as trimming golden retrievers and calling them Labradors, or calling long-haired Chihuahuas It is short-haired.

Common dog buying scams: Posting low-price information

I don’t know if you have had such experience. When searching for dog selling information online, you will always find many merchants posting low-price information. For example, an 800 teddy, a 500 Labrador, a 1,500 French Dou, etc. In fact, in the current pet market, the price of each dog breed is basically relatively stable. Is it possible to make it both cheap and good? Unless the other party is not aiming to make a profit, of course the merchant will not do this, so those who publish information at low prices are just to trick buyers into watching the dogs. In fact, it is not impossible to buy a good and cheap one. If you are an individual seller, it is completely possible. Most individual dog owners do not sell their own puppies to make a lot of money, but to find a sincere poop collector. I believe that all individual dog owners want to find a good buyer for their puppy.
