I agree with Lorraine. If the thread was locked, people who are unethical could really suck in people and there would be nobody there to challenge what they say. How many innocent people have been warned off from getting involved with some of these people selling puppies on the internet and losing their money.
I think all sales of live animals should be removed from the internet. What is with people that they will just sell a living animal to anyone that has the cash?
They can say all they want about being picky about who gets their puppy but I can tell you, anyone can talk a good game and claim to be what they are not. And don't think that people like that aren't experienced at fooling the public. I would never buy a puppy without meeting the breeder, seeing at least the mother of the puppy and the place the puppy was raised in. And I would be rather suspect of anyone who would sell a puppy without meeting/knowing the person doing the buying. JMO and I am sticking to it.
