Buying a dog from a breeder in NY.

We've been in discussions via phone calls and texts and pictures and videos for 6+ months.

Called the credit union to wire transfer payment (this is a stupid expensive dog, I admit that).

PLEASED as punch that they asked me no less than 3 times if I was SURE I trusted the seller, really wanted to wire the money, had a confirmed transaction, etc.

I'm sure we sounded like the average overseas-magic-puppy-farm victim, and fit the SCAM pattern so well, it was really pleasing to see the CU taking all the precautions to make sure I'm not a victim.
