I'm trying not to get bent out of shape over this one.
I come across this ad today on CL.
Curiosity got me, so I emailed the owner asking why they were rehoming, and where did he come from.
Response back was Virginia, and they are moving and the new place wouldn't allow the dog. Okay. So I do some leg (finger) work, find a breeder in Virginia, that had pups around that age, color, and oh, what's this? One of them was sold to Alaska. http://www.talloakskennel.net/photo3_8.html "Denzel". Sold at around 18 weeks. That's close to 4.5 months, right? So they just got the pup, are moving, and have to "rehome" him.
Here's what I think. They saw a good price on a dog that I've never heard of anyone owning up here (no, I don't know everyone) and I'm betting they are going to be charging an arm and a leg. I did ask them what they are asking for a rehoming fee, but that was after I already asked them if the dog came from that breeder... Might have shot myself in the foot there. It's been awhile and they haven't reponded back.
I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but something smells fishy here. You don't invest in a dog like that, ship it here, then move the next week.
I emailed the Breeder to see what type of contract they sell their pups under.
