If you come across content that doesn't belong on Best In Show, use the flag button on the item - photos, links, articles, and animal profiles can all be reported. You'll need to be signed in.

Pick the reason that fits best:

• Spam
• Inappropriate content
• Harassment or bullying
• Misinformation
• Copyright violation
• Other - with a text box to explain.

You can add details to any report. Each person can flag a given item once.

Reports go to the moderation team for review. As an extra safety net, content reported by several different people is hidden from public view automatically while it awaits review - so the community isn't exposed to it in the meantime. Content that turns out to be fine is restored.

Best In Show never processes payments for animals and never asks you to pay through the site. Listings connect you with a breeder; the transaction itself happens between the two of you. A few common-sense tips:

• Look for health test results and a complete pedigree on the animal's profile.
• Ask questions through the inquiry thread so you have a record of the conversation.
• Be wary of anyone demanding untraceable payment (wire transfer, gift cards) sight-unseen.
• Whenever possible, visit the breeder and meet the animal before money changes hands.

For anything the flag button doesn't cover - account problems, billing questions, or something you'd rather report privately - reach us through the support form. We're happy to help.
