B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Taking free dogs off gumtree etc.... most of which are from families who cant look after them...for whatever reason ... and are given away in the hope that the recipient will look after and care for the dog.... Then selling it on... Doesnt sit right with me. A dogs more likely to be better looked after if money changes hand so I'd say, it's more chance of finding a good home.And i would say that too....But when people give something away... They do it... in the hope that the person recieving it... Isnt going to profit from it... Its preying on folks decency IMO. Why would they give anything away wanting someone not to profit from it? I'd have thought their concern would be hoping the dog lived out its life in a good home, not fretting wondering if some c**ts made a few quid from it. If you gave a mate it then yes, you have a point but not a stranger. How many of the dogs given away in good faith.... have been completely conned out of them? ... With the ' aye, ill look after... care for...shes just what my kids want... wife will love her' speil? ... Then advertised on the net later that day for hard cash? ... Its morally wrong to me... Your right that everybody isnt trustworthy.... but you can only believe what you know... Id never give away one of my dogs... nor sell then to any body... The day i pick then up... its a commitment from me to do right by the dog... The main reason ill NEVER breed a litter... is because the pups wouldnt go to any fecker.... If i couldnt 100% guarantee a great home... they would be staying put... And i couldnt... not for a full litter anyway.. Ill let somebody do the worrying instead.. ill just pay my money... Its a chance you take giving/selling a dog... But to purposely decieve somebody... is wrong ... 10 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 To be honest even off guntree I think it takes a certain kind of c**t to go round all the dog looking for a good home adds ..... And taking them saying you are going to give it a decent home and punting it on for profit. Lying to coin money on dogs...... How far will that kind of person go? I'd say 100% they would happily trade in stolen dogs, and so fuel the thefts! 6 Quote Link to post

As I said earlier, as soon as anything is no longer valuable to you and your giving it away, what happens to it is no longer your business.

These pirate DVDs you buy, the money goes to gangs who buy drugs and ruin kids life's Quote Link to post

People who give dogs away do it for a reason... either because... like you said-they dont want it...

baw 4,360 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 So you're trying to tell me someone who peddles dogs for money..... Would have a massive problem with the dog being stolen??? Probably not but would anyone? If you bought say a pup and found out 6 months or a year down the line, the dog was stolen. Would you find out its rightful owner and give it back? If your saying a guy who gets dogs from the free page and sell it on will start thieving if there aren't any then no, I don't think they would. But then again some will but some who don't peddle dogs with steal them. There are thieves in all walks of life mate, don't kid yourself on by pigeon holing them as peddlers. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm not saying all dog peddlers are theifs, but that where a lot end up. . . And if a man will lie to make money off dogs I wouldn't trust them in general! And I'd kind of hope that if my dogs were stolen and someone got hold of them. . And even after 6 months . .... Saw on here that they had been stolen .....that I'd get them back. But apparently not. No wonder the dog theifs get away with it so much...... But hey, going on your earlier thoughts. If your dogs been nicked, it's your own fault, should have ha better security and not been so naive right? It's a good lesson. 2 Quote Link to post
