IMPORTANT NOTICE: Avoid Scammers
Fennel shares a sweet moment with puppy Bombazine while the rest of the litter nurses.
Scammers on social media are becoming ever more rampant in the world of purebred dogs, and this problem has been escalating lately within the borzoi community. Fake profiles advertising puppies using images stolen from legitimate breeders can be found all over the web. Our photos have been stolen for this purpose on numerous occasions, including at least two instances of scammers creating fake business pages or profiles using our kennel name.
Although we file copyright take-down notices on these when we come across them, we may not catch them all. If you are looking to add a borzoi to your family, please keep these very important things in mind:
ALWAYS check the URL of a profile or page to make sure that it belongs to the legitimate breeder you are trying to get in touch with.
NEVER send money to a breeder sight unseen. Many breeders require deposits for their puppies and this is common practice, however, this is what scammers are banking on. I cannot in good conscience recommend that someone ever place a deposit without having thoroughly vetted the identity of their breeder and the dog they are inquiring about. Taking their word that they are who they say they are, or even talking on the phone, is not enough. Do your due diligence.
Please know that as of 2021, Saxafrax - Wild Rushes Borzoi does NOT take deposits. If you are talking to someone who is using our kennel names and they request a deposit from you, THEY ARE NOT US.
As a reminder, all puppies from our recent YABB litter are already spoken for, as are all of our adult dogs.
It is our sincere hope that no innocent party ever fall prey to a financial scam that used images of our beloved hounds to con someone out of money for a puppy or dog that was actually already in a loving home.
Our actual business accounts are:
We can also be found on Gooddog, although we prefer interested parties message us about available puppies or dogs via our Contact Form or Application Form.
