We also were almost scammed by this same group. Fortunately I told my daughter I wanted to research them before she sent any money. Just some things they said didn't add up for me. Thank God you all posted your experiences and we were able to stop the process before money was exchanged. They wrote almost the exact same things in other posts here and gave my daughter a sob story about the wife dying and he just doesn't have time to care for the puppies. The "shipper" called numerous times to pressure my daughter in to making her payment right away so they could ship the puppy - I got on the phone after the 3rd call and told them point blank we would not be sending them any money and to remove my daughters info from all their records asap. Of course, they wanted to know why we changed our minds so I told them straight up that my research shows they are a bunch of scammers - he hung up pretty quickly after that
I am re-posting my experience in the hopes that it saves someone else the money and the heartache of a loved one seriously wanting a puppy!!
Here is the email address both the "seller" and "shipper" contacted us from:

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR SENDING YOUR PAYMENT TO REDUCE CHARGES AT THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE
There at the Western Union transfer agency, we have a common advice that we give to all our client to reduce their charges at the Western Union .NOTE : tell the Western Union agents that you want to do money transfer to an individual and for personal reasons .This is to make sure your money transfer charges remain very low, if you tell the Western Union agents that you are making payment to a company and for a puppy purpose , they will charge you extremely very high as to the normal transfer fee . Just tell the Western Union agents that you are making money transfer to an individual and for personal reasons so that the transfer charges should remain very low.YOU CAN STILL TELL THE WESTERN UNION AGENT THAT YOU ARE SENDING THE MONEY TO A FRIEND OR RELATIVE,THAT WILL MAKES THE TRANSACTION VERY SIMPLE.
The puppy is registered under urgent delivery Once the payments is made ,Do get back to us Via E-mail and call with the activation number MTCN NUMBERS found on the payments receipt for us to activate the flight of the puppy. As soon as the flight is activated after confirmation of payment , we shall get back to you with the activated flight receipt and also how you will receive the puppy delivered at your door step.Do make the payment as soon as possible so that we home deliver the puppy over to you .
