Due to scarcity of puppies at this time, Helen has been told of numerous examples of scams and frauds. Examples include loss of deposits and loss of full amount of payments and/or no arrival of pup as promised. Helen does not accept deposits until pups have been born, selection of pup decided and agreement reached. Prior to COVID related lockdowns, Helen has encouraged inspections by appointment, to view her breeding family and her first-class facilities, and she looks forward to the easing of visiting restrictions.
