mattydski 560 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think a bit of money helps keep the buyers real..yeah.I understand that dogs get passed on too, but not from me. Personally, I get too attached, worker or not, pot filler or not, it stays. I'm too soft....My heart is bigger than my wallet. Same here Mat thats why i have only had 6 dogs in the last 22 yrs as i have had my own house & could do as i liked, they stay till they either have to be pts or whatever I'm on my third in 20. Wifey has had 3 in 20. We currently have 3 dogs between us. 12years, 13years and 7months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEAN3513 7 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 a dog is for life...................blah blah blah !!!!! it is at our house..........the for sale section is mainly dogs for sale as per the reasons already given. there should be a seperate section for dog sales with its own moderator, or no live animal sales at all. or bring back the donator rule ( along with a minimum of 100 posts) before you can post in sales, not a cure for the problem , but, may help. sorry to the genuine lads and lassies, but there are a lot of "puppy peddlers" out there. cheers sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scallywag 78 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 If you pass a dog on for free to a good home I think you get more than money back anyway - you get gratitude, a good rep and hopefully favours in return. If I needed a dog and someone had the good grace to pass one on to me I'd find a way to pay for it whether asked for money or not, to show my appreciation - either I'd raise some money or find whatever the other person would most value or at least buy the beer for a while. Oh, by the way, I do a lot of work with a rescue. We ask for £120 for the dogs - it pays for vaccinations, worming, microchipping and neutering (just about). The rest - food bills, kennel costs and vet bills (we do a lot of sorting out of old injuries, illnesses etc) has to be fundraised ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,025 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Personally i think if you need to come on an internet forum to sell a dog you really need to think if your doing your dog justice......If the dog is a " good un " it will sell itself by reputation.....if its got promise then why sell it to someone you dont know who might never use it for its intended purpose......all for the sake of a few quid !...shame people dont have more pride in their animals.
