For buyers
Don’t get scammed. Verify the breeder and the puppy — then pay safely.
Search a breeder, read what’s verified and what isn’t, and pay your deposit into protection.
How to verify
Four steps before any money moves.
01
Search or scan
Find the breeder, kennel or passport ID — or scan the QR.
02
Read the verified rows
Each data point names the source we checked.
03
Ask for what’s missing
Anything self‑reported is marked. Ask to see it verified.
04
Pay into protection
Your deposit goes to a licensed processor, not the breeder.
What a verified passport shows you
Facts with sources. Nothing blended.
Verified checked against its source by PawTraceSelf‑reported provided by the breeder or owner, not yet checked

Deposit protection, explained
Your money waits with a licensed processor — not the breeder, not us.
Held by a licensed processor
Your deposit never touches the breeder’s account or PawTrace’s.
Released on milestones
You both agree the terms up front — usually pickup.
A dispute path
If things go wrong, there is a process and a record.
Red flags we help you spot
If you see these, slow down.
- A price too good to be true
- Pressure to pay by e‑transfer or gift card
- No verifiable health testing
- Photos found elsewhere online
- “Shipping” fees that keep growing
- Refusal to show the mother
