Some breeders like that commitment when the pups are at a young age. Someone sends you a deposit, etc. What happens if the pup cannot be adopted out? What happens if the pup (though had a fine bite at 2 weeks) at 8 weeks has turned into an overshot or undershot bite. I hope that the breeder is going to take less for the pup...if they're going to sell it at all. You can tell A LOT more when a pup is older and closer to adoption age. I don't like seeing very young pups advertised on YT from any breeder. BUT, that's JMO.
I've sold 2 of my pups to YT members and here's how I did it...I start posting picts of the pups as they progress. If someone is interested, they'll pm me. There's really no reason to advertise the pups for sale at all. In the time I've been a YT member, I've posted one for sale ad and to be honest, I'll never do it again. There are so many threads in the for sale section here, it's reminding me of a flea market.
So, I'll duck from flying rocks now. I know I've probably ticked some people off, but that's okay. Just that my opinion is different from some. |
No need to duck!!!!!!!!! I see your point. I have had many inquiries about my little litter too just from me posting pictures or sharing news. But, I just wonder if those people will even be around when they finally get old enough to take deposits on.
