SAMPLE of a BAD PUPPY INQUIRY
received in August 2008
The inquiry looks relatively harmless at first glance. Doesn't it?
It is a phony inquiry.
Preliminary investigation revealed the following:
- Writer sells second hand unregistered and mix breed dogs over the internet.
- Writer posts under multiple email addresses on the internet.
- Writer uses different last names in email communication. False names.
- Writer appears to work for a second-hand dog agency, animal rights activist organization.
- Writer gives phone number, wants you to call.
What makes this a suspicious Email inquiry:
- Writer refers to the name of a well known boxer website, using it as an accidental reference.
- Writer displays no knowledge about the boxer breed (full German or partial puppies?)
- Writer has absolute no knowledge of the German Boxer as known on the International level.
- Writer has never studied International boxer breedlines.
- Writer refers to a rescue boxer in her ownership (unregistered!)
- Writer throws in emotional side tracking...liver failure...devastated!
- Writer does not give the registered name of her own 4.5 year old boxer, instead
- Writer gives the name of the sire of her boxer as UK registered.
- Writer does not give registration numbers (Freddie is in Canada, imported thru' USA as pet)
- Writer does not tell you about a CKC registration of her own boxer.
- Writer goes into details about the sire's ancestors. Why? when
- Writer does not even reveal the mother of her 4.5 year old boxer.
- Writer does not reveal where her boxer came from. Breeder? Owner at birth?
- Writer does not understand temperament. Quotes the term incorrectly.
- Writer talks about German bloodline? Writer has no idea what it is.
- Writer wants a German boxer but does not understand how to raise and maintain it.

Summary: Writer contacted us after visiting our website, therefore the writer had read the conditions for an inquiry. Therefore, the writer knew that asking for a litter without addressing all questions on the application page would not get an answer. Quoting the sire but not the dam of a dog in the ownership of the writer, or quoting the grandsire is always a sign of the person owning a dog from a poor quality breeding. Freddie had been imported by a USA breeder as a pet from UK. If the writer really owns a boxer, it would be a poor specimen from a breeding between an unkown dam and the imported UK pet Freddie. Owning and raising a bad specimen of the breed means that the owner does not know anything about the breed. We did not investigate if the writer actually owns a boxer or merely made up the information in the email. Several postings on the internet by the writer indicate that this writer advertises mix breed dogs. Any information given by an animal rights activist cannot be taken at face value. The writer has been identified as an animal rights activist who advertises and sells second hand unregistered and mix breed dogs through the internet. The writer may work or volunteer for the government sanctioned dog society, the official Canadian dog/puppy mill business which sells second hand dogs complete with soap opera stories to the public. We assume that the writer may not even own a registered boxer but uses information collected from the internet to make up phony puppy inquiries. Purpose of the above email is to locate a registered dog owner with the intent to file false complaints and harass the registered dog owner. Since AR aims to eliminate all registered animals with the ultimate goal to extinct them, emails like this one are very common. AR activists engage in ongoing prowling of the internet with the goal to harass registered dog owners. The writer uses false last names to confirm the dishonesty of the email inquiry.
