| You said," 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. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | 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.

| 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. |

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

| 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.

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.
