This was in a site suggestion & I did post in it so I just copied part of my post for here since no one replied
I realize people don't like to see threads closed or get a negative but lots of people learn what to look for in a puppy in the For Sale threads or breeder section ...
This is where I've learned much of what I know ....in most cases - it's the buyers who benefit from the more outspoken people on this site...and I know sometimes the breeders feel picked on...but if a breeder has nothing to hide and can be proud of what they're selling - then I doubt anyone would see red flags ....at least there ARE people here that care enough to call a Red Flag when they see one - or are brave enough to ask questions.
I don't agree with being rude for the sake of being rude..... but People are going to sell no matter WHAT we say. We've been seeing so many people who's 1st post is selling puppies and things don't seem 'right' why not say something ?? It's for the members benefit that people actually say something - and the puppies too.
I'll shut up now.... I told myself recently it's not worth talking about because it sure seems the whole country has gone small breed crazy ....there sure are a ton of people out there breeding now
