Dogs For Sale Suggestion - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mstplumeria · 08-24-2007, 05:53 AM

I have noticed a lot of people with only a few posts advertising puppies/dogs for sale here on YT lately. I for one, having bought both of my puppies from breeders here on YT, would like to be certain that the puppies/breeders being advertised are what they claim to be. Not just joining the site for free advertisements. This is just a suggestion, but what if there were requirements for posting a puppy/dog for sale, such as having to have a certain amount of posts and/or a recommendation from other high-standing YT members?

Just a thought!

OK, it has brought to my attention that my post sounds like I am unhappy with the breeders I chose through YT to buy my puppies from. I meant the total opposite! I am very happy with them and would definitely buy from them again and recommend them (in fact, I have recommended them several times). I am hoping that my suggestion would help keep that "atmosphere" of knowing who these breeders are and being able to look up past posts/opinions to get an idea of what that person stands for.

I do not think it is right to allow people to join this site, make one or two posts, and then advertise their puppies for sale. After the puppies are sold, you never hear from them again. It seems to contradict the nature of this forum and take advantage of this "online family" we all love.
