www.oodle.com So I got this website from a profile on here, someone got their pup from Oodle. I've been searching w/a friend for Maltese puppies (female) for a few weeks now and they are far and few between here. But on this site there are several for free. One in driving distance. How legit is this site? |
I have never heard of it... I would just say to be really really careful... especially if someone is advertising a free yorkie... meet in a public area and dont go alone... basic precautions. |
I used this website several times...I can tell you that it is NOT legit. You have better luck on ebayclassifieds.com (what used to be Kijiji.com). |

Well there are free maltese's but out of sheer curiosity I pulled up Yorkies as well and there are several free as well. I'm pretty skeptical of petfinder because most of the ones she's found have been scams. Kinda hoping this isn't the same thing :) As far as safety, I've been certified for concealed license. Us country girls learn early to hold our own :) |

Okay I will look for her on ebay classifieds. Maltese seems to be rare in these parts anyways :( |
You have a wonderful Maltese breeder on the AMA breeder referral list in Louisiana, Divine Maltese. Larry and Angela Stanberry are wonderful people who I am sure can direct you to smaller, lesser known breeders if they don't have what you are looking for.

Oh wow, thanks SO much, I'm forwarding this info on to her now :) |

Maltese Show Dog Versus Maltese Pet.....What is the difference? So many people assume show breeders will be too expensive when actually they can be less expensive than many pet stores and backyard breeders. If she wants a puppy who will grow up to look like like a Maltese is supposed to look, she needs to get one from a reputable breeder. "Bargain" puppies tend to grow up to be pretty far from the standard. Many poorly bred Maltese have Bichon mixed in their background and they end up weighing in the teens and have curly coats. Here's another good article for her: Maltese Dog and Puppy Size/Weight...does it matter?? |

You can find poorly bred Maltese for $1,000 or less, but what you will spend on vet bills will make $2,000 sound like a bargain. Not to mention she will get a Maltese who looks and acts like a Maltese is supposed to if she gets a puppy from a responsible breeder. |

All over the country and all within the last hour :rolleyes: So now I will add Oodle.com to my list of really horrible places to look for a puppy. :thumbdown kijiji.com :thumbdown ebay.com :thumbdown hoodly.com :thumbdown oodle.com :thumbdown craigslist.com :thumbdown puppyfind.com :thumbdown There are all places that are full of BYBers, scammers and millers that you should NOT waste your time on looking for a new puppy. Like Ladymom suggested you get what you pay for and if you are trying to do it on the cheap you will not be happen once the puppy grows up. I wish you and your friend lots of luck in finding the perfect puppy. :) |

Agreed, I forwarded all this info on to her. Ultimately it's her decision but learning what I've learned here I'm sure she'll consider the information alot more carefully now that she's got something to go by. I appreciate your help and I've emailed the suggested breeder above. |
