Guadalupe's French Bulldog - [email protected]

We found this website through Google (had to search a lot of pages) and came across this site that did not specifically list prices but asked what your price range was. Once given, they gave a puppy with that price range plus an additional amount for shipping. The website says they do not communicate through phone calls but that there is always someone checking emails so they should get a reply fast. The website is: gdfrenchbull.net

Below is our conversation with this "Guadalupe" person. I did take out our information (stupid me for giving that to them)

Ok, Sherman is still available and he is 9 weeks old and the pictures on our website are very current,So here are a few issues which i will like to make you understand and possibly address them before we proceed, 1st. I do NOT place our bulldog puppies in homes where they will just be breeding and making money without love and care giving to them like what i do or even more. 2nd. We do NOT let our bulldog puppies go to homes where they would live outside! 3rd. We will NOT place our bulldog puppies with anyone who has any history of child or animal abuse!! and the 4th. ALL of our new bulldog puppy owners must take time to educate themselves on how to properly care for their unique new bulldog child. 5th. and last but not the list, We will probably turn down homes that have a large number of other dogs. As our bulldogs crave individual love & attention. As long as you can make us understand that you will share the love in your homes with these puppies, we will consider placing the puppy of your choice to your home, regardless of your location, even if you are not located within a driving distance, most often the homes that are most suited for our puppies are often suited far from a driving distance so we consider shipping as an option. We are based in Minneapolis, MN So we will ship Sherman , I can guess what question you have in mind right now, **Flying a Puppy: Is it safe? This question is often asked. We certainly wouldn't consider it if it wasn't. I personally asked this question to the man of the shipping company on my first attempt to ship a puppy some couple of years back, and this was his answer to me ***When we book a flight for a puppy it is only on safe, approved Airlines that have pet-safe programs that Follows USDA guidelines. The puppy will have the same air as the pilot flying the plane & someone will be there to care for & look after the puppy on and off the plane. When we go to book a flight for our pets we always call ahead and find the most direct flight available (much as if you were looking for a flight for yourself.) Our puppies have always arrived safe and sound to their new owners, he even went further to say that it is better and more comfortable to fly a puppy on a 2-5 hours flight than drive with that puppy for 6 hours or more***. And that i believe so much because i know they are professionals and will deliver the puppy safely.

Shipping a bulldog puppy within the USA INCLUDES
*HEALTH CERTIFICATE $25.00
*PUPPY CRATE $25.00
*CLIMATE CONTROLLED PET CLASS FLIGHT $140.00
*FOR A TOTAL OF $190.00

The shipping process normally takes between 6-18 hours to complete. So the total to have Sherman over to you will be $390 plus Shipping of $190 making a total of $580. Just get back to me as soon as you can so that we can proceed right away.
Thank you.

I'm glad I found this website. I found gdfrenchbull.net via google and it had the exact same story about "Sherman" on it. The site was well done and it seemed like a legitimate breeder. After I sent the first email I immediately got a text message asking what my price range was. After that another email followed with some fairly believable back story about the breeder working part-time and her husband was in the military. Then she, named "Kimberly Snyder", said the dog was ours for $890 dollars (90$ over the asking price). Finally a last email was sent:

"Thank you for making us feel comfortable because I've been through your last email with my partner and we both feel comfortable placing our puppy in your home. Sherman will cost $650 plus Shipping of $240 making a total of $890 so know all what you will spend in other to have him will be $890 and more over it will takes just some few hours flight duration to arrive there ,And again know once we have everything done and your baby being shipped out i will send you and email with the full flight details (Delivery recipient Airway bill number, and the Tracking number) and from there you will know the departure and the arrival time of your baby ok. The shipping process normally takes a couple of hours to complete, though sometimes it could take a little longer, how ever the whole process hardly exceeds one whole day.

Your puppy will come with a handbook that explains more on his life styles as well as feeding, and toilet habits. He will also come with his food menu , hand booklet (which explains everything about the puppy, his likes and dislikes) C.d Guide, Crate , Playing toys and a Puppy Care Kit which includes some helpful information, that should help you facilitate the transition process in your home. I'll advice you to get the following grooming tools within a month or two from now: Shampoo, Conditioner, Pin Brush, Nail Clippers, Ear/Pad Trimmer, Ear Lotion, Scissors. About food, I feed all my puppies Wellness dog food, Grain-free or Purina One and NuVet Vitamin's that are excellent for them. I choose to feed Purina One because it is relatively modest and is readily available across the United States at most department or grocery stores. There are many opinions on which dog food to use.
This is a decision only you can make, but keep in mind Purina has been making dog food for over 50 years and they do extensive research on nutrition and protein. Other dog foods may cost more but that doesn't necessarily means they are better.

Get back to me with the following information so I can start the flight and ownership arrangements;
Names of receiver/owner of the puppy:
Address and telephone number:
Closest airport:
Preferred hours of Pickup of puppy from airport:


Thanks and Waiting
Kimberly Snyder"

What's Kimberly's email address?

Kimberly is not in Minnesota. She is in Africa, probably Cameroon, from the way she writes.

The website has been reported repeatedly for fraud. It is hosted in the Seychelles; its mailserver is in Russia.
