I can build a legitimate looking website with checkout options, beautiful images, a secure URL and a professional email address for under $10 in less than an HOUR. It is NOT difficult to create a website with which to generate scams! A pretty website does NOT mean that a breeder is legitimate.

THE SCAMMERS ARE GETTING SMARTER AND SNEAKIER. Tread cautiously and read on…

SCAM GREAT DANE BREEDERS

Do not send money to these breeders. These breeders do not actually exist, they are a scam.

ADOPT GREAT DANE PUPPIES

This scam may be one of the most heinous!!!

They make you believe that you are doing a ‘good thing’ to reduce overpopulation by ‘adopting’ one of their 9-week old friendly Great Dane puppies.

I cannot roll my eyes into my head far enough. Do NOT fall for this Hallmark crap! This is a SCAM. There are no puppies. You are not reducing overpopulation by buying a puppy. You are not rescuing a dog by purchasing a puppy from a breeder. You are not going to get a puppy at all if you give these clowns your money.

$700 (magic ‘too good to be true’ number)
A variety of puppies old enough and happen to be ready to go
Please to ‘trust’ them, information that they will ‘change your fears’ if you are skeptical

Stock images and images of puppies from known pets/social media
Buy now/Adopt now

Need we go on? STOP FALLING FOR THIS!

www.adoptgreatdanes.com is a SCAM.

They are all a scam.

Don’t believe us? Say goodbye to your money. Seriously. Please don’t fall for this!

BELISKY’S GREAT DANES

This scam breeder is particularly bad because they chose a not-so-scammy name.

We receive a LOT of emails asking us if this breeder is a scam or not, proving that this particular website is a gold mine for some not so great people to literally take your cash and run.

MAJOR RED FLAGS include:

Buy Now/Purchase Buttons
Puppies photographed on different backgrounds
Puppies clearly from different genetics/pedigree
No photos of parents
No information about health testing (Hips, elbows, heart, eyes, thyroid)
‘Perfect’ puppies are ‘registered, potty trained, raised with kids’ (everything the emotional puppy buyer wants to hear)
No buyer education about the breed
No application or contract

FULTON GREAT DANES

Fulton Great Danes is another classic scam.

My favorite part is that they refer to Great Danes as a ‘compact’, ‘portable pooch’ with a ‘flowing double coat’ and indicate that as breeders they are a ‘wealth of knowledge’.

I’m laughing. So. Hard.

Portable, compact Great Danes with long flowing locks.

STOP IT.

We are not seriously falling for this, are we?

The website looks legit. They use all the right words, including ‘AKC’, ‘Raised with Family’, ‘Healthy pet’, ‘Veterinarian Checked’, ‘Small Family Breeder’.

They have photos of CUTE puppies that are ‘potty trained’ and come with papers. None of them appear to be from the same litter, nor are they photographed against the same background. No 8 week old puppy is POTTY TRAINED, folks.

No mention of actual OFA health testing results or pedigrees. No photos of the parents. Even if this weren’t a scam (which it IS), this would not be an ethical breeder to consider making a purchase from.

Run far away from FULTON GREAT DANE PUPPIES.

JAMES WEAVER DANES

James Weaver Danes is a scam, without question.

The website opens up with a quote about ‘well bred Great Danes’ and shows a STOCK PHOTO of two poorly bred Great Danes.

There is a selection of puppies in different colors, all photographed against different backgrounds. Those puppies are not from the same litter and are not even in the same location.

There are buy/purchase buttons on the website. This is ALWAYS A SCAM. Never purchase a puppy by clicking into any kind of online checkout.

It does not matter how ‘legitimate’ you think some of these websites are, that’s the scam! They want you to be drawn in. Be strong! These puppies are NOT available for you to buy!

MILES GREAT DANE PUPPIES

Miles Great Dane Puppies takes ‘scam’ a step farther and includes information about Great Danes that they copied from other websites.

They use this copied information on training and the breed to make you think they are legitimate, even recommending food and training techniques.

MAJOR RED FLAGS:

TALL SOLID GREAT DANES / MARVEL GREAT DANES

This is another one of those made up kennel names that doubles as a search engine keyword. ‘Tall Solid Great Danes” is a scam.

MAJOR RED FLAGS:

WESTLAND DANES

Scam City! Westland Danes offers ‘fast shipping’ of ‘Euro’ AKC puppies for less than $700. Red flags everywhere! This is 100% a scam, no matter how much you want it to be real.

STANDARD GREAT DANES

I can’t even get past the first page on this one because the scam is SO obvious, and yet somebody was asking in a Dane group if this company was legitimate. They were frustrated that the breeder hadn’t called them back yet.

Which tells me that people are STILL FALLING FOR THIS STUFF! YIKES!

First page. Spelling error straight out of the gate (see ‘Registere’). Keyword as business name and site title ‘Standard Great Danes’ and ‘Great Dane Pups’.

Scam scam scam!

Multiple puppies available from clearly different litters and pedigrees, photographed against different backgrounds, offered for less than $1000 with a buy now button.

This is NEVER LEGITIMATE no matter how much you want it to be.
