BBB received the following complaint regarding the marketplace practices of Rahim Shelties: Found web site with Sheltie puppies. Made contact with breeder, exchanged emails and txt messages, and phone calls. I used western union to send him $800.00 for a puppy. Was then contacted by the shipper who said they required $1,000.00 insurance policy to ship the puppy. Shipping was to be paid by the breeder, as stated on the website.
