Best site to sell pups?

[Dragonkeeper]

Hey guys! Shylia's babies are 11 weeks old and I want to start advertising them for sale. They all have their tails docked and first 2 sets of shots. I wanted to know if anyone here knows the best site to use to sell here in Georgia. I'm hoping to sell to people close enough that I can deliver them personally instead of flying them. They are such WONDERFUL little babies I want to make sure they get awesome homes.

you can always try Craigslist... How much are you planning to ask?

[Dragonkeeper]

Craigslist? I've heard lots of bad news about people getting robbed and killed meeting people off of that site?

Pups will sell for $1000/male and $1150/female if they want breeding rights. If they neuter them I will knock $200 off.

If you want to sell for that much, I'd avoid Craigslist. Most ppl on there are looking for a cheaper deal and probably won't look to spend more than $400 for a puppy.

That's not a good idea you could end up selling one who spend there whole life in a cage just breeding for there whole life. You should have a contract they have to sign to spay and nueter the dogs and only give them limited registration. You have to try to keep these puppies safe from living a terrible life of greed.

That is why I would prefer to sell locally. I want to meet the people who will be buying my babies. I will not sell to a kennel. I want to sell to someone who, like me, wants an addition to their family. I have a beautiful little boy and girl that I wanted to have a couple litters from before I spay the female. They had 6 adorable babies, 2 females and 4 males. One of the females has been adopted by my daughter. I do not breed for a living.

If you want what is best for these babies and truely care you will only give limited registration to the owners and do a contract. You may think someone is a great person or owner next thing you know they are making a living off the backs of your pups doing everything wrong and putting your pups in danger.

Unless you are truly vigilant and can do a lot of online background and vet checking from afar, the only way you will know what sort of family your tiny baby is going to be living with - and if you care what that life is like - is by selling to someone local to your area. That way you get to talk to them on the phone, meet with them, size them up, see how they and any children react around the dogs. You can have them fill out a questionnaire for their worthiness as a puppy and adult-dog parent and find out what they know of about puppycare, when to vet a dog, vax, train, what type of Heartworm preventative to give, etc.. Lots of people want to buy cute puppies but as it turns out, far, far less of them are responsible enough or able to keep that same dog as a well-cared-for, beloved family pet for their entire lives.

What lines are you breeding? Do you provide a 7 generation pedigree so that people that are buying Yorkies to breed will know what is behind their dogs and that there are no serious genetic issues in the pedigree? Craigs list is where every thief in town goes to sell dogs, of dogs they have found, they turn around and sell on Craigs list.

[crystalsmom]

To ask that price, you must do as YorkieMom1 mentioned.

A puppy picture is nice if you have one but does not tell anyone as much as their pedigree.

We are here to help you in any way possible but I do think your local papers are the best for you since they are close.

Most professional breeders dont!

Look I don't know why a first time or occasional pet breeder thinks that they could *sell* their dogs/ Oppsey breedings, and or just want to breed my pet is not a *breeder* I would pay any money for a dog from.


It is likely you have done none of the research, done none of the pre breeding screening tests, I have no idea your expertise in raising young puppies and giving them the stimulation they need.


Be thankfull if anyone is willing to give you some money to take these dogs off your hands.

I found my pup on "puppyfind.com"! Not sure if you have to pay to list. In the description, you can add that you'll only sell them to people who are x amount of miles away.

DragonKeeper- I am back in the market for a puppy and actually saw your dogs on your website( Cute!)


But after talking to a scammer ( Who I busted when they started yammering on about getting "Flight shots" from the " Vet" and the "AIRLINE")


Talking to a guy in Utah who had cute...make that BEAUTIFUL puppies but couldn't provide me any info on the parents ( who also was asking 900 for his pups)


A guy who turned out to be a puppy broker ( who I also busted when he put me in a 3 way call with his breeder who had more than FIFTY dogs- but claimed they were all "Home raised and loved")


and finally a friend who is an advocate of completely banning the shipment of dogs other then by vetted, reputable breeders, Those traveling for show purposes, or those travelling with their family.


I decided that shipping is not an option. It shouldn't be for you either. EVERY one of the reputable breeders I have spoken to refused to ship- ESPECIALLY puppies that are small and or dogs under 2 pounds. THey wanted buyers to come to their homes for a face to face. Before that buyers had to fill out pretty lengthy questionnaires about where they lived, what they did for a living, how many hours the dog would be alone, did the home have kids( who can be dangerous to a small breed like yorkies) other animals?, Knowledge of the breed and breed specific problems, who their vey is, etc. You should require that too- ESPECIALLY if someone claims they are an experienced yorkie owner- yet can't tell you their vets name. And I also agree with the poster that said you shouldn't sell your dogs without a spay neuter contract. There are lots of scumbags out there and you would never want your babies to fall into one of their hands. And trust me..these scammer are unbelievably good and will go to great lengths to obtain whatever their goal is.


That said...There are several sites that list reputable breeders. If you are AKC registered maybe you could sign up for them. I'd type in "AKC Yorkshire Terrier Breeders" and "Georgia" and see what shows up. THen sign up for the one that seems to have the largest database. If you are not AKC registered there are some other sites that could work. Ebay Classified is one that shows people puppies available by region. I did buy my last baby from Georgia and I found the breeder in breeders.net. It forces you to enter a zip code. SO that alone should cut down on people who live to far to pick up a dog.


There is also a neat application on google. Type in " Google flights" and it will bring in a map of the US with all the airports. You have your buyer type in their starting point and the date they need to pick up the puppy and it will show you all the prices to fly to ANY location in the country. It will also show a graph that tracks ticket prices. If buyers are flexible they can sometimes save more then HALF just by flying a day or two earlier or later. For example.. I live in San Jose. I can get a flight to LA for 77 round trip, Vegas for 132, Dallas for 150....it's pretty cool.


I believe Shila's pups are all gone now... but hopefully this will help you in the future Best of luck.

Actually, you are rude and no nothing about me or my breeding practices. Both my Sire and Dam were tested by the vet I have had for the last 18 years. This is NOT the first time I have bred dogs, just the first time I have bred in many years. I did extensive research concerning both my babies bloodlines and any issues that could come up with whelping yorkies. My female had several trips to the vet during her pregnancy to assure she was healthy, no issues were found and she had an easy delivery of 6 healthy pups. The pups have had 4 trips to the vet since they were born and all are healthy.
Both parents are AKC registered and I have registered the litter as well.

All I asked if anyone knew of a reputable site I can advertise my pups locally so that I can meet with potential buyers. I was unaware that made me an ignorant backyard breeder who should give the pups away because I am a danger to the Yorkie breed. SHEESH! Shoot me now!
