This email is very like one I received a few years back. I don't remember the Particulars, but I had a Gut Feel that it was not legitimate. I deleted it without replying , and I recommend the same action here. Steve Subject: Weird Email Date: Sun, 6 Mar 2011 09:28:06 -0800 I was given permission to forward the email with comments. Permission granted to forward RESPONSIBLY. Thanks A fellow breeder/lister received this email and it seemed "weird' to her. Checking out the name, some dubious relationships were found. (If anybody wants what is found, please contact me privately... Suffice to say, there were a lot of connections to those who aren't on the side of breeders.) If anybody receives an email from this person, proceed with caution and if she is a legitimate pup buyer,please let us know. We don't want to malign anybody without cause, but the email DID raise flags.
