I will be selling a Pup for my grand mother in the next week, and then once her next litter is ready, I will advertise and sell them for her too.... That kinda makes me a Puppy Broker. Buyers wont get to meet her (the litter owner), they won't get to meet the Stud, unless they want to drive to another location to meet him... They will be comming to my home and meeting me. I will show them the puppies, and I will be interviewing them.
Am I bad? I don't think so? will I profit from doing this for her? You bet I will! I am doing Three months of Puppies! Thats cleaning feeding and all of the up keep... I don't even need to tell some of you what a litter of 5 puppies pooping at 8 to 10 weeks is like! Heck yes I will profit! I'm not doing it out of the kindness of my heart! (boy that sounded really bad!) But I am not making a killing... I am just paying myself for my time.... The price of the puppies will not go up... but the amount she will get for them will go down.... And she thinks that is only fair!
So I'm kinda a Broker cause they aren't mine, but not really cause I am raising them??? But for the one I am selling next week... I am so a Broker!
So I think that sometimes a "Puppy Broker" If thats what you would call me.... Can be a good person... But its the exception and not the rule! |
I wouldn't call selling your Grandmother's puppies, being a broker. You personally know the breeder and the puppies history. You can get any information that a buyer might want. A broker knows nothing about the dogs they sell, I'm not sure that some of them even know the breed. They just buy low and sell high. They falsify information, they sell one puppy with another puppy's registration, they aren't even sure of the birthdates for them.
