Breeder Puppy Sales How are puppy sales going? I'm having ZERO luck. I've talked to other breeders in my area and theri sales are slow as well. I don't know what else to do! Anyone else? |
Hmmm..all but one of Trixie's upcoming (any minute now let's hope) are spoken for. And I never even put the word out that we were going to be having any.:) |

One has to remember that there are so many yorkie breeders now that yorkie pups are flooding the market. I've seen prices lowered in the Houston area because of it. |

our beagles aren't selling right now either. this is usually thee best time of the year for those. i think gas is so high that people are saving their money. no takers on fancy pants either. excuse the typos. i have one in my lap. |
I have no problem holding on to him until he sells but the longer I have him....the more I get attached. Its bad enough that every time I take him out of his xpen he has to run and jump up and kiss my face! |

Hi Breny girl, It may not be true for everyone but it is for many, including me. Puppies are selling very slowly. In the past it wasnt rare for all but maybe one puppy to be reserved before they were ready to go. But its not the case this time. I think the economy isnt in the best shape and people just arent thinking puppy, they are thinking groceries and gas. I know at my husbands job they generally have 4 million dollar yrly sales but it is at 2.5 million this yr. Almost half of what it was in the past three yrs. So I think it is going in all areas not just pets. ........As far as yorkies too.......the market is saturated with puppies. ALot of people are raising them right now. Its a puppy buyers market I think. If your like me (and your alot like me:rolleyes: ) the longer you keep the lil guy the more he becomes a part of your own family. Have you tried lowering this price to maybe meet another income level who could give him a wonderful home and afford him?:) ;) |
slow here also i have had good luck in the past years selling my pups but this time it's been really slow in fact i still have 2 boys looking for homes. i have come down on my price but still no luck. i just want them to have good homes, someone to love and spoil them . i think there are other's in indiana also haveing a hard time finding homes for there babies. |
Many buyers are in fear of internet scams |
The high gas prices have to be hurting a lot of people. I haven't advertised for my litter yet or even called anyone on my interested list, but I have been calling the Yorkies advertised and they are all gone within two days so I am not that concerned. |
Many animal activists place fake ads on free sites 20 at a time for 10% of market prices. A buyer who attempts to contact these sellers never receives an answer. The purpose of this process is to cause confusion in the market. The buyers wait for one of these fantasy transactions to become reality. None of this works in media where the price for advertisement prohibits this game. |
I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and advertise in the nearest big city papers (which is the Detroit area) Its like $70 for a 7 day add, and $50 for just Sunday! So it makes you take out the 7 day ad. Its crazy |

PS - We do have alot in common, now don't we!:thumbup: |
Well, my groomer (who has become a friend as well as a breeding mentor) wants to go in on an ad for the Detroit area, as she has a pup left to sell as well. So we are getting together and taking pics of them both and sharing an ad. I thought this was a great idea because now it will only cost us both $37 instead of 73.99 each! So hopefully....we'll both sell our little love ones! Wish me luck!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: |
My in-laws have a kennel and go to dog shows (they show a Maltese). They just told me a couple of weeks ago that the breeders at the show were talking about how slow it has been for selling pups....all different breeds. |
Good Lcuk Breny and let us know how it goes!!!!!:animal-pa |
1 Attachment(s) I will. Here's the pic of the two for sale. Mine is the black and tan chi (Tia's bro) and hers is a Brussell little boy. :) We are putting this in the paper. |
OMG Oh my gosh OH MY GOSH! They are irresistible!!!! Just looking at their photo is truly enjoyable! A couple of people out there are going to be getting some adorable pups soon! |
Admin, these post are so uncalled for!!! this post is 2 yrs old and to drag it up and post such rude remarks should not be tolereated from someone who dosen't know anything about the people they are talking about. I do hope you will take action and ban this person for life, we do not need people like them here. Thank you admin!! |

Are you kidding me? Do you know ANYTHING about the breeders you are talking to??? I don't think so AND for that matter while pointing the name calling finger...do you even realize that this is a 2 year old post??? If you are looking to make a difference I don't think your tactics are the way to make people listen...good luck ;) |
