Also, implying that he has show potential is so very misleading. We're his parent's champions, even if they were, you should know that this doesn't mean the offspring will have show potential. Lastly, although you say you will sell on limited registration, you only mean for this price, you will just negotiate for a higher price if someone wants him as a breeder. A dog either should or shouldn't be bred, and you have no way of knowing at 5 weeks or even 12 weeks if he is breed worthy. This ad sickens me.
I just want to say to all you breeders, and would be breeders, the economy is really bad, people are not buying as frivolously as they were buying two years ago, it is NOT Yorkietalk member's fault that you are not selling your dogs like you once did. I'm sorry so many of you are having financial and health difficulties, I truly am, but I suggest you stop breeding if you need this money to live on. |
I don't recall her saying she needed the money to live on. And why wouldn't one describe the dogs pedigree in the ad. It saves from having to tell people later when they ask about it.
She said she is not well and doesnot want to deal with alot of questions. Thatis understandable.
It is not HER fault that the rest of us did not read the last line in her ad.
This is a long time member, not someone who came on to sell a puppy and then leave.
