What more information would you suggest we have on the "For Sale" form? We definitely do take suggestions.

I know I felt done wrong recently when I started another thread on this subject. Not by admin but here is what happened. i couldn't post my puppies here because they weren't ten weeks old so I placed an ad in the paper. Some one called and expressed an interest in my puppies. i was so excited to tell them all about YT and what a wonderful place it is. Imagine to my surprise that very night i saw a "for sale' ad by this person. Sure it was for an older dog but was it fair..? had I known she was a breeder looking for a place to sell her dogs and not interested in anything but that, I would never have recommended the site to her. We didn't know her or anything about her but she was allowed to make her first post a for sale ad. I have gotten to know her since then and she is a good person as far as I know. Then a few of her friends started coming along making one post to sell their dogs and here I still sit with mine (at the time). But fortunately, ALL my puppies went to great YT members that have gotten to know me over the time I have been here and trust me. i sold every single one of mine to yt people that watched them grow in the nursery so they were sold anyway before the ten weeks. I still think you should put a post min. before ANYONE can sell on the for sale forum. I mean, what do we know about these sellers that "hit and run". I understand you providing a place for people to buy and sell but once again, the new rule is hurting us and might even be the cause of aa member getting scammed from someone no one knows.

I agree....After what happened to a yorkie recently who went to someone with only 1 post - it may be a good idea to get people to have a minimum before letting them sell OR buy

I agree with sugarmom. I don't think new members should be allowed to come on here and sell anything , Dog, pet products,clothing.etc. I feel they just come here for that reason. And most of these don't donate either. I wish that there was a rule in place ...In order to sell anything,advertise your site you must be a donating member. This seems to be more and more frequent latelty.
Also , I don't thing the OP was talking about OT threads in general. This all is JMO.

How about if we added something to the for sale ad regarding genetic testing. Whether or not the dogs have been tested for that and STD's.

I hope the parents would be tested before being bred! :eek:

the price of puppies would go up immensly if all puppies were tested before they were sold. the average person couldn't afford to buy one. And as far as I am concerned, my one year health guarantee protects my buyer.

I didn't mean the puppies that are being sold. I meant like if I decide to breed my Maddie, I would have her tested before I would breed her and I would want the male tested that is to be her stud to make sure they wouldn't pass anything to eachother, right?

New puppies that haven't been bred shouldn't have any STD's to be tested for right? :confused:

Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about. Letting buyers know the parents had been tested and checked for genetic problems and STDs, not the puppies.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank goodness for the OT threads!

That is right. My bitches were tested for STD before I bred them to ceeby since I only purchased them this past summer. ceeby was not tested for STD. i brought him home at eight weeks. ii didn't see the need to test him for that since he had never "been with a woman". HEHE. he has however been liver shunt tested. he has also had blood work.

Thank You for understanding what I was talking about. :thumbup:

I didn't/don't have a problem with the Off Topic Thread at all! I thought the ones with the large number of posts were taking up space. But if Admin says they aren't - that's good enough for me. It was just something I "thought" would help alleviate the problems with the server.

Admin rocks!!!!!;) :D :)

i totally
know what you mean but if theres a large number of posts dont ya think that there are some people are enjoying them
i do think we should get rid of the ones that are 16 pages of people argueing lol

I'm all for anything that helps out YT, but gotta admit, I'm glad that those long threads aren't causing any technical problems. ;) :)
