Pixie Dust came to me when I really needed her! I had wanted a pug all of my life and I just knew that it would be the perfect type of dog for me. I went and found a breeder who seemed really helpful and was there to answer all my questions. A week before the breeder Jean Fontana (also known as Wanda Jean Fontana, and Jean Fontain.) was arrested. She had scammed me and 60 other people out of our money, all the puppies she showed us and other people did not belong to her. So there I was broke and broken hearted because I had just been scammed out of my money but my dreams of owning a pug because there was NO WAY I was going through that again.
My mom found another breeder during the next days I spent crying (KINGS VALLEY KENNEL in MO go to www.kingsvalleykennel.com) That’s where she found my Pixie Dust and she put all the money up front for me knowing I had lost mine. The breeders name is Hazel and she was very sympathetic to what happened. She is still in contact with us three years later and also is where I got Zucchini (my boy pug) a year and a half later.
Here are some links to help you find scammers or info on how to know when you are being scammed:
