I have run into this problem for about 2 years now. People DO NOT want to wait for a quality pup, they WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! And then the puppy MUST be a T-CUP, guaranteed, and they MUST have breeding rights also. And with all the other "alternative" registries, the bybr's and the pet stores that accept payments and charge cards, its almost impossible to sell a good quality pup anymore for a decent price. And now with the economy, people dont want to drive either, they just want you to post pictures. How can you tell anything by that? You can post any bogus picture you want. I have seen alot of people selling puppies by the road side lately also. I guess they are trying to temp the people on major routes to the stores or on the way home from work.
