I agree with Lisa… while your list can be helpful, puppymillers have learned to look very reputable making it much harder to look at the website to determine. The bottom line is, no matter if they sell one breed or more, they can be a puppymill. And there are certainly some very legit responsible breeders with 2 or even 4 breeds! My entry into dog breeding/showing was a woman who had English bulldogs, her daughter had aghans and setters. If they don't have pedigrees and health testing info on the web page, I'd run. If they have it and you check OFA and find they falsified, or only maybe the current or some of their dogs have testing.. run. The rest they can fake or pretend but generations of health clearances generally aren't part of a puppymill.
Possible Fake Ads for Basenji Puppies
-
While searching through Oodle, I found four different ads that had Basenji pups for sale. The website it went to was love2trade.com. The ads were similar as the price was either under $300 or not listed which were red flags to me and the locations were different. Would anyone have contacted them? I was wondering if these were fake ads.
Please be careful when answering ads.

You may be right, Jennifer. Looks like the same green background on some of them but they are in different states?

Hello, yes I nearly got taken in by one posting in the UK with the same green background and advertised for ?300. They said they would ship the puppy unseen, very strange. Buyers beware.
