These people have been trying to buy dogs for months. They just do not give up. We have got numerous e-mails from them, also phone calls from an exporter trying to buy for them.
Here is an e-mail I have permission to forward but was asked to remove the writer's name.

In the past 2 months, I have received multiple phone calls and E mails from an Asian Dog Dealer and his associates. There are several people, working together, going by several different names and with different stories. Some are based in Melbourne and some in Korean and some in Japan.The first caller, wanted to buy several litters of Poodles for a "Dog Farm in Korea that has 300 dogs of different breeds Malamutes, Huskies and Border
Collies. I refused and said I only sell pets to families. One hour later, I got a call from a Korean man, in Carlton Melbourne, saying he wanted pets for himself his family and friends who live in Melbourne. I said I had none I would sell. Today I got a call from a Korean man who said he is a dog show judge from Korea visiting Melbourne looking for large volumes of Poodles for his farm and will make the rounds of shows. When questioned he said he has 30 Malamutes and many huskies and large amounts of several other breeds. I said I had NO dogs at all for sale
He would not easily take no for a answer and repeatedly requested I meet him at a dog show so he could see my dogs
I refused and although I remained polite, I repeated like a broken record that I have no dogs for sale. I heard pups crying in the background and asked about that. He said he was at our dog show park picking up a litter of toy breed pups. Meanwhile, I contacted a credible American Humane Society worker, I know who has been involved in Korea working in dog welfare and rescue. I gave him all the names to check out. They appear to be one and the same person and close relatives. Allegedly the "main' person has relatives in Melbourne but owns a breeding
farm with several hundred dogs of multiple breeds in Korea AND large Pet Markets where pups are displayed in small glass compartments. I am quoting what I was told by my American friends in Asian Animal welfare. Dogs live in small wire cages, are bred every season. When they are too old to breed they are sold to knackers and killed in a less than humane way by being beaten to death to make the adrenaline rise and tenderize them Dog Meat is sold as a delicacy"
The would be buyers may be at shows They may have photos of show dogs that are allegedly not actually their dogs.
One may claim to be a judge. This may or may not be true but he is owner or part owner of the large farm. In addition my friends all over USA are getting the same phone calls particularly brown Standard breeders. I also received this E Mail copied below today from a dealer who is being paid by the Koreans to assist in getting breeding stock for breeding and resale.

E Mail received today
