Please help me name my female chihuahua a girly, well known, GUN affiliated name that someone who knows NOTHING about guns would still recognize. Name preferred to be an item smaller than a bullet, but that’s not set in stone.

First few pictures are of the new puppy. Last 2 are: Sniper & Pistol (my 1st dogs who passed away) , then Rifle and Bullet who are her current brothers (not really related but they’re all my babies so brothers it is). She needs a matching name 🙏🏼. ❤️

Hello to all. I am trying to buy a puppy off of Craigslist. I have done this 3 other times and everything has gone smoothly.

Something feels off, but maybe I am overthinking?

Lady shows me various pics of chihuahua. Says I need to make a deposit of $60.

I sent deposit because well, it sucks to lose money, but I wouldn’t be totally devastated about $60.

Anyways she says she doesn’t use Venmo or zelle. She suggests chime. So I make an account and send her via chime.

She then says she forgot
To add the percent and it’s actually 60% which would be $300.
That part made me nervous.
She sends me her ID and a pic of her holding the ID. Then sends me a video of the puppy.

So I save the pics to my phone and it says they were taken in November of 2025 (yet the puppy is supposedly 9 weeks) I bring this to her attention and she says it’s a problem with my picture settings on my phone ? Hmm.

I really really want this dog. But am I being scammed ?

Lady says she’ll drop it to $200 for deposit and I can pay the rest when I pick up this afternoon.

She also asks for my full name and address for AKC paperwork.
Is this normal ?
I haven’t sent anything since the $60 and she says she will send it back to me if I don’t trust her …..
