UPDATED
2-2-2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The website
http://www.welvpets.com,
as well as it's mirror site,
http://www.weluvpuppies.com is using many stolen pictures
from various dog related websites
without permission. Below are "some" of the
pictures that were stolen. Even though we (owners
of the stolen pictures) repeatedly asked that our pictures be
removed.........our wishes are being ignored and, in fact, a
couple of us have even been threatened.
|
 |
The first picture they say is their stud dog Snoopy
or Bear when, in actuality, this dog's name is Teddy who
is a "neutered" beloved pet that I sold several years
ago. His picture can be seen on my
Extended Family
page and then click on the "Lucci, Teddy, and Charlie"
link on the left hand side. This is copyright
infringement. |
 |
This picture is being used on the
mirror site of welvpets.com which is
weluvpuppies.com. The actual link to this page
has, for the time being, been severed, however, the
page is still available at
http://www.weluvpuppies.com/maltesesbaby.htm
The picture actually is the headline picture on
my "Available
Puppies" page. The puppy on the left,
"Peanut", can be found throughout my website and the
puppy on the right, who I called Elvira was in my
first
Charm and Cruiser litter.
|
 |
This picture which is being used on both
welvpets.com and weluvpuppies.com, in actuality;
belongs to
Chrisman Maltese. |
| The three pictures above have been stolen from
TaLin Maltese and are being used on the
http://www.WeLvPets.com website without
permission. On the mirror site
http://www.weluvpuppies.com she has the below
pictures although she has currently removed the link to
them. All of the TaLin Maltese pictures have a red
frame around them. |
|
ALL of these cute framed
pictures of puppies (above) that are portrayed as being
"We LV PETS" puppies on their
Maltese Mom's and Baby's page, actually belong to
Cogin's Maltese and are being used without
permission..............yet another case of copyright
infringement. |
| |
On their "How they are born" page ALL of the
pictures actually come from
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com and can be seen in the
whelping section of that website at
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/whelpingpictures.htm
.........again........without
permission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALL of the poodle
pictures on the welvpets mini teacup poodle page
actually came from a Polish Poodle website which can be
seen by clicking
here.
Some of the Yorkie pictures on their
Yorkie page actually can be found in their original
context at
http://www.pricelessyorkies.com . These are
all being used without permission. The owner of
the pictures actually thought she had safeguarded her
pictures against being stolen by implementing "No Right
Click".
I am
sure you can get the picture here of what is going on
!!!!! (pun intended)
These are all cases of copyright
infringement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to wonder WHY they are using other people's
pictures, instead of their own, especially with all of
the current puppy selling scams on the internet.
Do they really have puppies for sell??????? |

Please be
informed and do not be taken in by these or any other puppy selling
scams.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!!!!
The
internet has brought in a whole new way for people to purchase puppies
and other goods. It has made those hard to find objects much
easier to find with just the push of a key or by simply entering a word
into a search engine. It also makes "Buyers Beware" an even more
important term than ever before with all of the new puppy buying and
selling schemes.
Ads such as the ones
below are rampant on many puppy selling sites. These are/were the
actual ads that used my pictures that were found on Puppyfind.com.
PLEASE NOTE: The below
ads are not puppies that I have for sale but are actual ads found on
puppyfind.com using stolen pictures from this website of my previous
puppies.

What you may not realize
is that all of the pictures used in the ads above were "borrowed"
(stolen)
without permission from this very
website. There are countless other ads that use "borrowed"
(stolen)
photographs from many other websites. Sad to say, "borrowing"
(stealing)
other people's photographs from websites is very common to those with the
puppy selling schemes.
There is a very
interesting website that concerns Puppyfind.com and the many puppy
sellers on the site which can be seen at
http://www.puppyfindsucks.com . Anyone searching for a puppy
on the internet should read this website first.
Other articles concerning Puppyfind.com;
When I contacted one of
the "sellers", telling them to take my picture out of their ad, I
received the following response, spelling errors, bad grammar and all:
Hello,
compliment of the season,My pet babies have been all adopted
by one mrs jennifer sunter from los angeles california,
hopefully i will be having a new litter by march or april
this year,but i can refer you to one of my customer that
just got posted to west africa by his company here in united
state(chevron)he asked me to put two adorable pet babies he
got from me before he was posted for adoption,the baby pet
are both 3 months old and are akc registered, send him an
email immediately to him concerning adopting the pets,tell
him the breeder he asked to put the baby out for adoption
refered you to him,already the lovely babies are already
with him,send to Pastor Mike and his email address is:
pastor_mike_john@yahoo.com i think this
could be the best way to get him direct.
remember to contact me as soon as you get the puppies
Thanks.
This
was obviously one of the "Nigerian" puppy selling/buying internet scams that we
have heard so much about recently. |
|
In Conclusion.......Please beware of websites
claiming to be selling puppies with "borrowed" pictures from
other dog breeders websites. These tactics are often
used to insinuate/misrepresent the general puppy
buying public that
the pictures are actual pictures of their dogs!!!! |
MALTESE
PUPPY BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!
