Delayre Kennels was founded in 1963
originally breeding and showing Wire Fox Terriers, along with Airedales
and Dalmatians (which we no longer breed) In 1969 we acquired Silky Terriers.
We are in Sun Valley Ca where we established our licensed kennel in 1974 .
Our primary Silky line goes back into the original
Coolaroo lines (which
combined several of the top breeding lines from Australia) along
with Koala, Casa de Casey, Bonneen and my latest outcrosses from the Nantiki
kennel and Bedafareal kennel in Australia My primary Wire line goes back
into Deko, Mt. Ayre, Ascot, Baglan and Louline.
At Delayre Kennels we believe that dogs should have not
only a sound body, but also have good temperaments and trainability level. Delayre bred,
and owned dogs and their progeny have appeared in movie, TV and print media including the
Eiger Sanction, Titanic, Jack Frost and Purina ads and have worked as therapy
dogs and K9 Ambassadors .
All
puppies purchased as pets go with a non-breeding contract and/or limited registration. We recommend spaying and neutering at 8 months of age. If
a top quality puppy is purchased with breeding rights a contact is signed
requiring ethical breeding practices and ABSOLUTELY NO PET SHOP WHOLESALING OR BROKERING of any puppies produced by this puppy or it's progeny
LATE BREAKING GREAT NEWS DEPARTMENT
It has long been my policy not to ship my puppies as cargo. It
is too dangerous and stressful for the puppy .
However as of July 14th a new airline service has come to
California. They only fly dogs and cats, no people. The plane used originally
for humans have been renovated to fly. They have a special fare to kick off the
service of $149.00. Their furry passengers must also have a health certificate.
At this time they limit their service to Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago Washington
DC and New York . For information log onto http://www.petairways.com/

From time to time, people
tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a
dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs
involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest
moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only
company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest
moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness,
the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's
"just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend,"
"just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very
essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out
the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of "just a dog"
I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me
and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and
dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the
moment.
"Just a dog" brings out
what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of
the day.
I hope that someday they
can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity
and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you
hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand."
*** Delayre Kennels believes in the spaying and neutering of pet dogs and cats and
recommends it to be done when the puppy reaches maturity at about 6 to 8 months but totally
disagrees that any governing body should force it upon it's citizens.
The Better Business Bureaus
have been receiving many reports from consumers who have been taken when
purchasing puppies online and in other forms of advertising
Often the puppies are being sold
by the scammers at a very low price , generally $300 to $ 600 plus shipping.
They usually communicate only by e mail and require payment be sent by Western
Union.
In most case the puppy never
arrives. In some cases the puppy arrives in poor condition and often too sick to
survive.
Beware of breeders who claim to
have many breeds ready to ship right away. Always talk to them on the
phone. Ask questions. One good question is who is your Vet and what is his phone
number. Any breeder can give that to you without thinking . If they hesitate or
won't provide a name and phone number they probably do not have a puppy.
Due to
restrictive breeding laws popping up all over California the scammers have come
to Los Angeles. They are advertising in our local papers. It must be
paying off as the ads run $89 per week in the Los Angeles Times. This is a
response received from one of them.
The breeder you wrote regarding Yorkie puppies asked me
to contact you.
Yes!!! I sent the breeder to find a caring parent for my
babies. I use
to live in the USA before I got a divine call to serve
God and
humanity here in west africa and this gave me little or
no time for my
babies.The weather here is also not lenient with my
babies. They
hardly come outside with me because of the weather. I
want to get them
adopted back to the USA where they will be sent back to
the weather
they were acquainted with before.My babies are 3months
old, they are
AKC registered, current on all shots. health certified.
Loves to be
cuddled and loves to play. They are from the same
litter, the female
is Hellen while the male is Jake. They are home trained.
You will only be paying for thier shipment alone.I am
asking $350 for
each both will be $600 shipping included.You will promise
me that
you will be sending their pictures to me in every 2months as
an update
with regards to how they are doing with you. I love them so
much but
they will be missed.They are my real babies. Please treat
them as
though they were your babies. I am attaching their pictures
for you to
view them.I can't wait to hear from you.
God bless you

Taking the Bite Out of Puppy Scams
Puppy scammers hustle money from their victims by promising to send
them a dog that oftentimes doesn't exist.
Two Variants of the Puppy Scam
In one version of the scheme, the scam artist posts an ad in a
newspaper or news website for a puppy he will give away free to a loving
home. All you have to do to help the poor little pooch is pay the $400
shipping cost. Victims send the money -- but their puppy never arrives.
One such scammer even claimed he and his wife were traveling
missionaries who could not keep their new litter of English bulldog
puppies! He conversed with one victim for a week and sent pictures of
the healthy pups.
In a second version of the ruse, the scam artist poses as a
breeder who promises a purebred puppy for a deeply discounted price. The
unsuspecting dog lover can't believe her good fortune. A purebred Yorkie
-- which goes for $3000 at the local pet store -- can be hers for just
$400.
The payment is sent, but once again the puppy that so tugged at the
hopeful owner's heartstrings never arrives.
Scam artists copy puppy photos from the websites of legitimate
breeders to use in their ads. Some even set up an entire phony website,
often using a stolen credit card, to make themselves appear to be
successful business owners.
In an alarming trend, a large number of puppy scam artists have
emerged from "breeders" in overseas locations like Nigeria, making
prosecution more difficult.
Victims usually receive contact only through email and are asked to
send payment via a Western Union wire transfer or money order. This is a
favorite payment method for scam artists because the money can't be
recovered.
Be suspicious of any deal that sounds too good to be true -- it
probably is.
Puppy Scams: What to Do
If you have your heart set on ordering a puppy advertised over the
Internet, here are four tips that will help you stay safe:
1. Beware of anyone offering ridiculously discounted prices,
especially if they won't speak with you on the phone. Confirm a
breeder's name, phone number and address. Legitimate breeders may be
traced in phone directories (However, scammers often give pre-paid cell
phone numbers, so getting a phone number is no guarantee that a
breeder is legitimate.)
2. Look out for someone who promises to deliver a puppy within 24
hours. Most breeds need to be eight weeks old before they can
travel, making it unlikely a buyer could get a purebred with such a
quick turnaround time.
3. Ask for -- and carefully check -- references. Talk to the
dog's vet and to other people who have bought puppies from the
breeder.
4. Be suspicious of a seller who only accepts wire payments or
money orders. Use a payment method that offers fraud protection,
such as a credit card.
Finally, if you think you've been the victim of a puppy scam,
contact your state attorney general or the U.S. Secret Service
Office for Internet fraud.
