hi Liam

Great question — scams have unfortunately become common in the puppy world. The first rule is simple: never pay before verifying the breeder’s identity. A responsible breeder will be transparent, offer live video calls, and share health documents for both parents. Watch for red flags — overly low prices, vague answers, or pressure to “reserve quickly.” Always check reviews and references from other buyers. Ask for a FaceTime or Zoom meeting to see the puppy in real time; scammers avoid live interaction. On our Cavapoo safety guide, we list the top scam warning signs and explain how to verify breeder credentials. (https://cavapoo-puppy.dog/blog/buying/how-to-safely-buy-a-cavapoo-puppy-28/).

Before looking elsewhere, explore our verified Cavapoo listings — all breeders go through screening, and each puppy is listed with genuine details and photos.
