Grace Basset Hounds review: Basset hound puppies

Was asked to purchase Wal-Mart gift cards for the purchase of a 10 week old basset hound puppy ($600.00). We were then promised a delivery date of 10/20/20... after contacting them as to the status of the shipment we were told that we needed to purchase a "special crate" for $1500.00 (gift cards again) with the promise of a cash refund of $1425.00 upon delivery. We did so, and were then told she was shipped from Dallas to Phoenix on united pet airline, enroute to our home in Colorado Springs. Once in Phoenix, were were asked to send $1000.00 (gift cards) for vaccinations due to her needing to travel across state lines and for turning 10 weeks since our original purchase (as stated on their website she was already 10 weeks and this would have made her 12 weeks by the time we received her)-again with the promise of a full refund. Realizing we were being scammed we stopped all communication with them and have not heard from them since.
