| I noticed this on kijiji too. Pretty sad-I saw countless ones begging for free or cheap dogs for them or their kids.

| I have seen SO many ads like those you posted on Kijiji for the area that I live in It's so, so sad to see this & I hope that no breeder will take them seriously. I would never, ever sell a puppy to anyone who posted an ad like that (just to be clear, I'm NOT a breeder myself ... I'm just speaking figuratively here ). I totally agree with you on this ... if they can't afford the dog, then how on earth can they afford the vet bills for the dog? & the fact that they kept using the term "teacup" really bugs me too. I understand that some people don't know any better & think that there are such things as "teacup" dogs, but someone who REALLY cares & loves toy breeds knows better. It sounds to me like these people just want a tiny little dog as a fashion accessory instead of a loving & caring puppy. Amy

| I think the person in that second ad would be much better off with a STUFFED toy dog.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Maybe they are just baiting the scam artists, you know, the ones that sell tiny teacups fully house broken?

| I think these are just young teenagers.I can't possibly believe an adult would be caught dead! writing something like that,I would think although they may beg it would be with more tact.
