Obviously dodgy. The picture has been stolen from this website: http://www.champdogs.co.uk/litter/21571 (http://www.champdogs.co.uk/litter/21571)

So is not actually a picture of the puppies they are selling, if even have puppies to sell. The fact you can't speak to them only text, is also a huge red flag. And seriously £5 for a ped dog, you would have to be an idiot to fall for it.

I've ck from the seller "All gone"
Guess we'll never know the story, but why the child was allergic to the puppies and not the parents i'm not sure.
Also very intrigued about a KC registered Golden lab!

There are plenty of people who use pics from other websites for adverts, they shouldn't of course i never have. As for the advert I am pretty sure it was genuine. there are also plenty of people who have kids which are allergic to pets and the parents are not.

Sorry, I mean why was the child allergic to the puppies, and not to the puppies mother.

That is what I was wondering. I wanted to buy all 3 but I thought what if it is a scam and also what would I do with 3 labs, which their only use is as pets. Maybe its the puppies dander, or maybe the baby came after the pups were born and so they sold both, the mum and the babies. Am not sure who knows ???
