ok look at this add does anyone notice the picture cos it's actually stolen off an american site, I know this cos a) I've seen the site and b) my friend recently rescued 3 pups and a girl who apparently was the mother from a puppy farm after reporting them to the RSPCA they are currently sorting this inncident but we do know this photo was used previously to advertise the puppies and this was in KENT!! This ad is placed in ESSEX I'm curious as to if there is a puppy farm ring around, I personally cant contact this seller and see whats going on cos I am involved with the last incident, someone please this is all really suspicious it could be a coincidence but my alarm bells are ringing

just make a general inquirery ask about the paperwork etc any addictional photos we found being sent fake pictures actually helped our case and if u can get me an address. If we can get someone over there to see cos this last one she had some dogs out back in the shed

it was heartbreaking basically these are puppyfarming middlemen and I wanna know if this is just a coincidence or related to the current case I know about. Btw the pups involved all had slight temperiment problems they're all very shy

btw below is the actual website this photo comes from

O.K., I'm a little confused here. I can see the two puppy pics are the same, and if I understand correctly, one of the sites is in GB and another is in the U.S.

Is that correct? If so, there seems to be something shady going on here.

I would contact them about it except I'm worried they will just advertise these puppies elsewhere. What concerns me is I know of another current investigation by the RSPCA into a puppy middleman in Kent using this photo to sell puppies. 4 were rescued and are now happy

but I'm somehow sense something is up with this, If I can get an address or someone who lives near to essex to check it out. There seems to be a lot of chi puppy farming at the moment and the conditions they are kept in is horrendous.

Good luck on finding the info you need. If you can help shut down even one puppy farm, it is worth it. Keep us posted please.

wow thank god I found that ad

we might have saved some people a lot of money loss, I'm hoping there are no puppies at all available. Has anyone reported this to epupz? Only thing I'm hoping is we werent rumbled and they worked out we wanted an address from them so they wanted to throw us off.

This is scary!!!! You really should report them to animal crulety because they CAN trace them. Epups CAN pull there IP address which in turn can locate the person using there internet connection.
