Beware of Dog Broker
Dog community warning:
Richard Windall is a dog broker. He takes dogs off Mexico buy and sells and resells then here for $1000+ per puppy. Since he lives here as well as Mexico he has been able to transport these animals easily. He has been posting in all Edmonton buy and sell sites and trying to join dog pages as well.
Through his advertisements of posting on social media he has learned not to call them purebreds. He has learned what is required of the government, and unfortunately this is not illegal. He is claiming to bring in 100 dogs in the next year. That’s probably close to 70k in his pocket after all is said and done, all the while supporting irresponsible breeding habits of uneducated dog owners in Mexico and taking advantage of uneducated dog lovers here in Edmonton and Alberta.
He claims to be rescuing these dogs from a bad life, yet this dogs haven’t even lived a life yet. Each litter has parents and he has pictures of the parents because he is not saving them, he is buying them for about 2500 peso, which is about 180$ Canadian.
Please please do not buy a dog from this man. These dogs are just dollar signs to him.
We have plenty of homeless or unwanted dogs/cats here!! Try the humane society or one of the many rescues here before paying $1K+ for an animal with unknown parentage or temperament.
People often think the rescues “charge to much” but they don’t factor out the costs. Rescues adopt out for a lot less than they pay for feeding, housing, vetting, fixing ect.
Adopt don’t shop✌
Buy and sell sites should not allow the selling of pets period.
Shelters are filled with pets that are wanting a chance to put a smile on your families faces. Take a walk in a shelter and see how much you are missing.
Scumbag!
Here is a couple other of his adds
Trading fucking puppies for an iphone. What a fucking douche bag. Can’t stand pieces of shit people like this or fuck heads who defend a goof like this. If people think this is okay you to need your head checked. Fucking idiot
Leslie Ann Tipton good. He shouldn’t be selling pups. I’m all for rescue but do it properly
that ad pissed me off! sad part is people were defending him!
Leslie Ann Tipton I know makes me
Sick
FB has a report function for trying to sell animals.
Trina Griep he has been report by a ton of people to aurthorties .
Trina Griep All they do is take the ad down and he posts it again and once he’s called out he deletes it and re-posts
All over kijiji as well. Just saw them the other day.
He’s posting all over kijiji and other sites now
Leslie Ann Tipton I haven’t seen any sites he may have blocked me to
Leslie Ann Tipton I pm i
He even goes as far as says he saves dogs and makes money doing it.
And his blue nose lol doesn’t even know what he’s selling .
Actually Candace, calling a dog a blue nose is not uncommon, but a blue nose is not a pit bull. In fact a blue APBT that meets standard is very very rare. We see it far too often but the true apbt is very rare in Canada. UKC is kind of a bullshit story so most dogs are paper hung and not actually true to the breed. I know of two breeders, both do not sell the public. I run a bully breed group, what the media displays and what “facts” people have are normally not true. My group is doing its best to educate dog owners as well as bully owners about the difference between a Stafford, a bully, and an APBT.
lol there’s no such thing as a red nose or blue nose “pitbull” They are called American Pitbull Terrier”
Candace Lloyd even then blue is not s common color for American pit bull terriers . They are a rare dog here. I know 1 breeder and she doesn’t even sell to the public
They are actually really common. I know quite a few people that have them. Thing is, is that alot of “pitbulls” aren’t even true pitbulls. People have a 100lb pitbull and say its a pitbull but its not. They are mixed to be that large. We have a true pitbull terrier.
You should post this link on his blue nose pitbull post lol
https://animalso.com/breeds/american-pit-bull-terrier/blue-nose-pitbull/
Candace Lloyd haha , he took it down.
American Stafford shire terriers are registered in canada and the usa.
I never said calling them a bluenose isn’t uncommon. I said there is no such thing, they are not labeled as individual breeds.
Sorry, I read your post and my phone must have glitched because it didn’t show the other half of it. My mistake!
Does it matter what it is. Red nose, purple nose! These poor fucking dogs are treated like slum. What a piece if shit this fucking good is.
I have to say that maybe what he is doing is wrong , but these dogs are much better here than there. Dogs in South America are on the streets without food, water, shelter or love!
Then take his profits and help a local
Shelter or team up with a shelter. To help take care of the animals. Set up a spay and neuter. There are a lot of people help these animals down in Mexico. And do it through the proper Channels. So no he’s not really helping . He’s feeding the people of Mexico to produce more pups .
Chrissy Watson I do agree with you, that is a good point of view.
Tanya Marie Lessard ?
Larissa Battlecat I know , I am speaking in general. Mexico, and all south countries have the same problem with dogs and cats. I come from there..

That’s like saying buying a puppy mill puppy is great for that dog, unfortunately your money then goes to screwing over that poor pups parents and so on and so on.
Lorena Pelaez Mexico is part of North America
K but what happens to them if people don’t adopt them? I’d rather adopt then see them get dumped or abused.
it’s not adoption it’s backyard breeding…. this is FAR from adoption these pups aren’t fixed, vetted or anything he’s a backyard breeder
If he truly cared the profits he makes he could help set something up in Mexico . Rather than contribute to the dog problem . Spay neuter clinics . Help the owner spay their dogs after a litter. Just the littles things

If you have been to Mexico you will see that there are tons and tons of dogs/puppies there that do need homes.
Have you ever thought about the cost of getting them over here ? They still need to be seen by a vet and pass to bring them here.
He gets them from backyard breeders, bred for the sole reason to sell them out here. They’re not dogs saved off the streets.
They are adding to the dog population
Is it the problem that he is making money off it ?
It doesn’t matter if he gets them off the street or back yard breeders.
If people don’t like it guess what don’t buy them
It’s only roughly 350
To bring them here. Few people I know have brought back. But like I said if he was doing if for the animals he would have set up a spay neuter, join with a local rescue . Help the animals . He’s helping no one buy buying them selling here. So what is he actually doing. Those people will have another litter and another . So how is that helping the animal problem. It’s really enabling it
$31.50 a pup. That’s how he manages to bring back so many.
You guys do realize that everything is for a profit. Go to the store to buy milk someone makes money off you, same with everything else.
If you don’t like it don’t buy them simple as that.
He makes a profit good for him, he supporting him self.
I honestly don’t care if he trades it or not. Not my problem. I don’t agree or disagree with what he does I just think it’s funny people are made cause he made a profit, everything is for a profit people we don’t live in a perfect world were everything is rainbows and sunshine.
Unless it effects you why do people care so much . If you have a problem with the conditions of the animals go buy them all, report him for animal abuse etc don’t sit on the computer and talk about how bad he is, so something or you are just as bad
It appears You’re just as bad as a person as he is then..
Don’t care about the dogs. What a joke.
Meh, I am not a bad person because I believe that unless you are going to actually do something about it or it effects you that maybe people should keep their nose out of peoples business.
You clearly aren’t doing anything to stop him from importing dogs or the conditions
Mariah, you need to be gagged. You’re talking about people need to mind their own yet here you are with your cunty hole piece you call a mouth spread open…
this post was made so people would stop him.. apparently that box dye has gotten to your head..
We’ve tried. The best thing that can be done at this point is educate the uneducated people in the dog community that will fall for his sob stores.
Buyer beware….
So all our dogs in shelters here lose a home? Perhaps people should donate 1000$ towards buying a shelter dog here so we can help eradicate the huge issue with overpopulation. Buy a dog, you kill a dog. Pull your heads out of your asses and do what is good for dogs, not for you.
For starters, these are not American Pitbull Terriers
GRRRR I volunteer for NOBARS (no borders animal rescue )..Wonder if they know anything about this. .
I doubt it. We have tried talking to acc, cra, and spca. There’s nothing that we know if that can be done.
Hmmm they’re based in Puerto Vallarta Mexico and have foster homes in Calgary and Vancouver. .
Hopefully maybe this will get to them? He tells people that he is rescuing them, but to me a rescue is a rescue, not supporting damn puppy mills so they can continue to pump out puppies to make a profit.
I have a crappy phone. .so I can’t seem to link thier site. But they’re on Facebook
Maybe if I find the time I’ll send this stuff to them. Between boarders, a new puppy and a baby I’m pretty much never on Facebook long anymore.
If I get to a decent computer I can do the same
Rita do you know name of his “Rescue”? Feel free to pm me.
I say… SOME “BODY” needs to Clamp Down on this “DICK” Windall – This is appalling!
If anyone writing here has any connections that can be instrumental in putting a stop to this guy and what he’s doing and going about doing —
Do what you need to do, Do what you can do to help get this to stop!
First it’s drugs (via Mexico)! Now it’s puppies purposely born into this world so this “DICK” can profit!? This can’t be right … This can’t be allowed to be okay …
Build that Wall – Build that Wall !!!
This is funny! I’m pretty sure this guy messaged me on pof offering me a dog…I’m guessing the exchange rate would have been sex? Either that or he actually is a pretty decent guy cause my puppy was recently stolen and died in my arms hours after finding him almost a month later.
Or go to pjs pets and pay 3000 for a purebred
Pjs mutts are far from being pure Breds lol
More like inbred!
Still no proof of lineage. Only shit breeders sell the puppy stores. If you want reputable breeders you have to put in the work to find them.
These are back yard breeders as well
Yes but they still charge an arm and leg
Piss covered paws… yep what a “great” breeder..
Not to mention the litter he’s selling listed as “blue nose” a woman was selling them and he took the entire litter..
ADOPT A PET!!!! Don’t buy from a breeder ffs!!!!!!!
He’s not a breeder. He’s a broker. He supports puppy mills. Reputable breeders would never sell to him.
He’s selling them in Vancouver Buy and Sells too.

What’s wrong with a business turning a profit? This isn’t communism….
Turning a profit by selling animals is nothing to be proud of.
Shaun Reveis You’re truly an idiot. Dogs aren’t eaten here are they? no. Dogs have feelings just like humans. Real dog breeders keep pure bred dogs from going extinct. Pet stores don’t sell dogs or cats not legally allowed to anymore.
Keep defending back yard breeders
Tanye Chotard Good for millwoods sad for the dogs. This is NOT a business he does NOT have a business license learn what a business is you uneducated swine.
Shaun Reveis the difference between this jerk and an actual breeder is an actual breeder cares for it’s animals. Homes are careful screened, dogs are health tested, dogs
Are carefully selected and temperament tested, blood sweat and tears go into breeding. Often good breeders don’t even make a profit. Selling animals like a piece of crap is not the same thing. That’s like comparing a reputable car dealer with scum that buys a car in Calgary, brings it to Lethbridge and sells it for a profit. Not a business, just a scam.
This isn’t a “business” animals are just like humans… so if someone was selling humans for cash you’d just say it’s “business”
not a vegan thanks 🙂 but dogs are NOT toys
Shaun Reveis so you eat dogs?
If he cared he wouldn’t be trading the pups for an iPhone
There’s a difference between backyard breeders/puppy mills and reputable breeders. If he was purchasing dogs for a lower price from reputable breeders and then selling them I would look the other way, but he is not. He is buying back yard bred dogs and selling them for the cost of a purebred, Heath tested, ckc registered dog here. Trust me! You can buy dogs with a guarantee for the exact same cost of his back yard bred mutts that he’s advertising.
Uh… what do you think dog breeders are… or pet stores… they turn profits selling animals.
What do you think the deli is? Turning a profit selling animals.
So unless you’re a vegan who breeds animals for free I think you’re being quite the hypocrite.
Lol I’m the idiot? And you’re the vegan communist free dog breeder.
This is a business. Pet stores still sell other pets. Breeders also sell pets for a profit. You think peoples time is free and useless?
And what does eating dogs here have to do with anything. Why are you only offended because it’s a “dog”? Other animals don’t have feeling? Or are you just one raging hypocrite.
Animals in Canada are used for business. They are a commodity. They don’t have rights.
This is why the farmer never cut a cheque to the plow horse.
I mean, I wasn’t the idiot who said “animals are just like humans”.
We don’t pay them, we eat them, we buy and sell them, we keep them as companions and labour. But they are there for us. They are a business.
Actually Millwoods town center pet store currently has dogs in there for sale for $1600 and before you say they aren’t legally allowed to, the city inspections are right on the wall beside the cages so its known they are doing it.
I don’t see the issue. I’d spend more than $1000-2000 to rescue dogs from Mexico. Looks like he’s saving people money and the headache of quarentine.
And if he was truly helping he would be giving back to help educate people down in Mexico set up a spay and neuter . That’s helping the animals of Mexico .
he’s not “saving” anything
Adopt don’t shop. He has people in mexico breeding dogs for him
Not really it’s roughly 350$ to bring a pup back. And just need vet before you go when you arrive at the airport.
What’s it cost to have a vet go to the airport with you? $300-400
What should his time be worth? Free?
What is wrong is he is deliberately breeding them in Mexico and bringing them back here to sell. I get bringing dogs back here to find homes but these people are just breeding cause he keeps buying them to sell here.
I wonder if he packs them full of cocaine?
Ryan Mclean there are spay and neuter clinics down there, the problem lays with the people his buying the dogs off of. They are intentionally breeding, therefore not likely to show up at a spay and neuter clinic
Each*
Candace, he’s not breeding them. He’s buying them from back yard breeders who purposely breed every heat for money by the looks of it. I was going through all these Mexican pages.
He’s still helping regardless. Maybe he’ll do that eventually? Can’t do that selling a few pups for $1000 a pop. I can’t hate on him. If he can save a few dogs and make a couple bucks good for him.
Ryan Mclean Problem is he’s flipping animals. He doesn’t give 2 shits about the animal! he’s in it for cash in his pocket. He won’t even prove if the animals have seen a vet. Hell the other day he was posting everywhere trying to trade a puppy for a damn iPhone! no checks on people just handing a dog off to anyone!
I dunno maybe everyone who has a problem with it should do the same thing for cheaper and open a spay neuter clinic in Mexico. Put him outta business.
Theses dogs were bred for the sole reason of selling them here. They’re not rescued.
If you beat his prices they will come
I dunno I’d rather do something than complain
