    Does anyone know who this breeder is? I have no idea how she got my personal email address, but I found a long solicitation in my email box today. The phone number (I didn't include it in the quotation below), but it's from area code 262, which is Wisconsin.

    We are now accepting deposits and will release the puppies to their new
    homes at 10 weeks old with a one year health guarantee. All adults have
    been Fanconi tested. Please let us know if you are interested in either
    seeing more pictures or in a puppy.

    I've never contacted this breeder, and I don't know if she found me through here or FB, or perhaps it's someone on here with a different sign in name?

    I think I know someone with a dog from her but I am not familiar with this breeder personally.

    That's a little creepy–unless you're looking for a puppy?

    Here is a link to an old thread from December 2009. IMO a BYB

    No, I haven't put my name out there as someone looking for a puppy, but she found my personal email from somewhere… I have my FB page restricted, so I don't think it's there, and I've never heard of her before. Just wondered if she was contacting others from here, too. ???

    Hi, I have one of Valerie's dogs and I have been very, very happy with him. He's just a great dog ... tricolor and quite handsome... no health issues! I find some of you people so judgemental and your posts really obnoxious!

    Thank you for the replies. Yes, either a total scam or just irresponsible, deceptive and lying individuals trying to make a buck. I am so glad I found this forum. Federico

    She's not a member of the Rip Van Wrinkle Club. I did, however, contact the BBB as well as various scammer websites so others who do research on her name or breeding company don't meet the same fate. Also went ahead and contacted the AKC and BCOA, so hopefully something comes of it.

    But the part that you highlighted about in season bitches is not likely to occur at a dog show. I do not allow other dogs at shows to lick my dogs nor do I allow my dogs to lick other dogs at a show. I have not seen any study that shows that an in season bitch is at significantly higher risk than any other dog at a dog show. If you are taking reasonable precautions with your dogs while at a show, I don't see that they are any more likely to contract an infection than the other dogs at the show. Actually, this past year I bred a bitch who came into season early and specifically asked my repro vet about bringing her to show because it would break the major if she did not show. My repro vet said that it was fine as long as I took reasonable precautions like using a crate and not allowing her to explore the grounds with her nose in everything. She whelped a healthy litter of 4.
