    The level of stupidity it takes to fall for the same scam twice is a lot.

      People have committed suicide from internet deceit. Someone sends a provocative photo to the victim, chats with them online, goads them to send an embarrassing selfie, then threatens to broadcast the photo to their inner circle unless they pay extortion money. Right, Boss?

    You do not by anything that's advertised on Facebook
    Use reputable means

    Adopt- Don't Shop. They got the best dog in the world from a local adoption place; why couldn't they do that again.

      Some people want to know the history of the dog they're getting. Especially, people with small children. I have a 4-year-old and we're going to get him a puppy. We're going to buy one because we want to know the history of that puppy.

      @@lostineggsaisle The history listed on a piece of paper determines nothing; not health, not genetics, not longevity, other than bragging rights of 'breeding'. Mixed breed dogs are long proven to be more healthy and longer living because natural selection always picks the strongest of mixed genetics for health and longevity.
      My family purchased a classic "pure bred" long hair Golden Retriever from a breeder as my first pet as a child, and when she was grown we had a short haired Golden, that we were never quite sure wasn't a Lab.
      What you're promised when purchasing isn't always what you get. -Just like the piece you Just watched.
      Just don't be disappointed and have the pet be (as always) the voiceless victim of not being the perfect boutique pet, and it end up at a shelter because it wasn't what you wanted; completing the hypocritical purchase & shelter cycle.

    We drove to the breeder, and when we saw our baby (and right away could tell she was smart), we paid cash. She's so awesome!!! ❤ I can't adopt, as I need a hypoallergenic breed.

    I don't feel bad for these people at all. When we adopt from a breeder, We drive to the breeder and make a payment in person. Even if we're walking up to the property and things smell fishy we bail.
