Hi all,
I am not very internet savvy, but I am quite a suspicious person. Having sent an email regarding some labradoodle puppies that are for sale on various sites, I received these emails in return. Alarms bells started ringing initially because the price was so reasonable, but did get "hooked" probably because we are so desperate to get another dog having recently lost our lovely labrador . Here are the emails if that's ok;

Please get back to me asap. photos attached. Regards
I sent this back -
Hello again,
Thank you so much for your swift reply with regards to your beautiful pups
I think I have already fallen in love with them all (especially Dexter!)
In answer to your (very important) questions ;
- We are C and P and are mum and dad to S (8yrs), I (6yrs), and E (2yrs).
- We live about 12 miles East of Manchester, surrounded by the Pennines (lovely for lots of doggy walks!)
- Unfortunately, we recently lost our beloved black labrador (Bramley) who we had for 13 years from being a pup. He died of heart failure whilst out in the snow with us. We don't wish to replace Bramley, rather just fill the hole that Bramley has left in our family. There's a lot of love here waiting for a new family pet.
- The vets we use/used are in Halifax My sister is a vetinary nurse and has been fantastic in helping us deal with our recent bereavement.
- We feel that we are very ready for a puppy now. The children have been told that any pup that we get is NOT a toy and there will be some strict ground rules for all concerned in the beginning. Although I realise that Labradoodles are very child friendly, I would never leave a dog alone with a child ( for both the dog's and the child's protection).
I hope this answers all your questions, though please do not hesitate to ask if you would like more information.
Unfortunately, Kirkwall is a VERY long way from where we live! Having looked on google maps, it appears that it would be in excess of an 11 hour drive. I understand that you could drive the pups to us, but how would that work, and how would the pups be having to travel that distance at sucha young age?
Also, could you give me an indication as to how big the fully grown dog would be? Dexter looks like he has pretty big paws!! Although we are not averse to having a large-ish dog (Bram was a hefty black lab!), we were looking for a medium sized dog that would be a bit more portable! We love camping and it'd be great to take the dog with us wherever we go.
Thanks so much again - your dogs are obviously well loved and well cared for.
This is the reply;

Terrible English and so far away (the original advert said they were in Ormskirk). Just want these gits to be stopped. I was nearly sucked in due to me feeling so low after my dog dying. I did then send another email saying we had decided to camp up there so could I have their address. Needless to say I haven't heard anything yet.......
Anyone have any thoughts, or has anyone heard of this before?
