7. Puppy Fever! How to Avoid Scams and Puppy Mills

7. Puppy Fever! How to Avoid Scams and Puppy Mills

It's easy to fall victim to puppy fever once you decide that you want a Dachshund. But being emotional about your choice and wanting one right away can mean you ignore red flags! Before you know it, you could find yourself without your money OR a puppy. Or you can discover that your puppy has health and behavior issues because they came from a puppy mill.

In this episode, I talk about what a puppy mill is, how to avoid unknowingly supporting these for-profit puppy farms, and some tips for spotting scams.

For more info about not getting scammed and what to do if you think you have been, please read my full blog post: https://youdidwhatwithyourweiner.com/how-to-spot-a-puppy-scammer/

If you have questions about Dachshund behavior, training, diet and health, or just need to talk through something with a fellow doxie lover, you can sign up for a ⁠⁠1-on-1 coaching session⁠⁠.
