benj2212 0 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 im looking to buy a jack russel pup, im new to buying dogs rather than home bred collies on the farm. theres some advertised locally and the woman answering the phone was polish, living in a rough area of nottingham and wants £50 deposit. could this be a scam or should i give them benifit of the doubt. what would you advise, thanks, ps im after a smooth coated, colour not too fussy but prefer tan and white.

Guest bullterrier Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 a lot of people ask for deposits to stop time wasters but if your not happy with the arrangement find a pup that's ready to leave the the bitch soon good luck with your search you could put an add up in the wanted section you might get lucky and find one near you but distance shouldn't come into it when buying a pup mate.. ..john Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,172 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) If someone wants £50 deposit I'd be wary. I have never accepted a deposit on a pup just in case something happened to it before the pup was ready to go! Sods law and all that! Also, if your'e after a pup with a decent temperament and working ability I'd be very cautious about buying one from non working parents: much better to wait until someone reputable on here has a litter where you can see pics of the parents, even working maybe.

benj2212 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 thanks for the advise, i decided to look elsewhere and have now left a small deposit on one further a field, so she'll be with us in 5 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
