seems a bit iffy to me!

http://www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction-adverts.showadvert/index-1031221413/b2ed69d9.html

Do we know the advertiser ? I wouldn't jump to conclusions, however it does look 'iffy'

its just on preloved im goin to ''enquire'' later

does anyone fancy takin me up for this dog i need to see if it is or not..?

its near bakewell....

Its times like this that i wish i had a car hun that dog looks gorgeous but the ad is suspicious :suspect:

Looks very puppy farm like to me :( i hope you can get the lab male Hunni he looks nervous and scared on the pic to me, what can i say sometimes it all feels a bit hopeless doesn't it?? :sad:

im trying cant get a lift though why do ppl work lol!

ur right tho it is hopeless nothin we do or say will stop this if they think they can make some money they will keep poppin pups out of poor bitches that rnt well enough to breed! the ppl that buy the pups are as bad too as they are financing it!

xxhunnixx
I'm not sure if you've done it already but I've just googled the address given on that ad and
THIS (http://www.jentoria.co.uk/) is what it came up with..
Looks like they breed cats..

Click on their contact details and you'll see the address..

i tried it earlier but it didnt come up with anything so well done looks like there rolling in it doesnt it the cats def look better off than the dogs i need to get there and get this dog to see whats goin off!

Give them a ring.. It tells you their number on their site..
Fingers crossed, all is OK..

Yes your right, and people who care are in a bad situation too because if we take away the dogs they no longer want it just leaves a space for a new dog to be used and abused, and the poor scared dogs need so much work to get them confident and back into shape.
What can you do though cant just ignore it and leave them there can you :(

been ringin it all day no answer it does say evening on the advert tho so ill keep trying! if we get one dog out it will be better than none rspca have been contacted but there about as much use as *$&%^

he looks fine to me, its the one behind the bars looks so sad :(

You should have rang me , i could have run you through,

I just looked on the website and there seems loads of labradors around the age of 4-6 who have been used as stud dogs and who are now up for re-homing. How do you know which are puppy farms and which arent? :(

Any luck with this one Hunni?

Have to say, he looks quite happy to me :confused: Not saying it's not a puppy farm - the barred pens certainly suggest it is and the fact he is nervous with people but good with animals suggests he could be around the dogs but gets very little contact from the 'breeders' however, one of mine is nervous of people despite being properly cared for and socialised.

I just wanted to say that he doesn't look nervous to me... maybe it's because I am used to seeing my happy, confident Eddy who looks very worried on photographs..

shih tzu i may still need a lift if ur offering still ahvent got in touch with these ppl but will keep tryin if anyone else gets thru let me know...?

i've had a look and there's 365 dogs for sale or rehoming on the actual site, all with different addresses.
i wonder if this one is a "returned to breeder" dog.?
might not be a puppy farm just a breeder.

I was shocked at how many dogs were on that site aswell. Not because they were up for re-homing but because of how many ads specifically said that the dog had been used for breeding! Its like saying..........'I used this dog to make money and now its past its use by date!'..................so annoying!

aww just had word i got a min jack russel 14 months old comin on monday awww!

I spoke to the owner of this labrador on the phone. If anyone wants to know what was said please PM me.

i have to agree.
to date i got my first blue roan @ 18months 'cos she wouldn't have a season and couldn't be bred from.
i got my first orange roan -an unwanted breeding bitch 4 years old - 3 litters.
i got my second blue roan - similar circumstances
and i got our male orange roan - initially @ 11months old to foster him,he was to be stud dog.within 2 onths i "owned" him.
except number 1 - all the others were from the same breeder - who bred them in a semi detached house in a housing estate @ Intake.

Nothing wrong with people who breed from housing estates if they do it properly though ;)

It's the cages that bother me... responsibly bred dogs, in my opinion, wouldn't be kept in cages.

what if they are kenneled outside during the day in provisions for them to be sold as working dogs?? dont want to make it out there not doing anything wrong but still some dogs do prefer to be outside

any further news

Hi,

Im waiting for Hunni to get back to me to see if she sorted anything out. :)

My Moo came to me in similar circumstances from a perfectly legit breeder. It wasn't a matter of being 'past her use', at 4 there was a few years left in her but they felt that having lived in an (albeit very well equiped and cosy) kennels she deserved a family home. She got plenty of love and a daily run in a field but its still not the same as being a family pet.

I don't claim to know the circumstances of this dog but I do feel that people are quick to jump on anyone who has bred their dog, often without knowing the facts.

They look more like front of runs to me, its difficult to say from that picture

well i feel right depressed after seeing just how many dogs are up for sale on that web site

I know there are loads of these sites about - people just swopping or selling or giving away

the 7 yr old gsd and the dane they don't have time for, who keeps rounding them all up. as if he isn't insecure enough - they now want to give him away so someone can 'give him a better home'
yeah right

i wish i hadn't looked now

sorry for being an absolute idiot but would it be wrong to purchase any dog off this website because they are all puppy farmed, or is it there are a few bad eggs?

Mr H, I'm always reluctant to label sites (I'm sure there's bad eggs even on the KC site), you're much better talking to the seller and getting a good look at the dog(s) and where they are kept. If you go for a puppy, ask to see the parents.

I beleive someone posted a list of questions to ask a good breeder but can't find it (link, anyone?)

I have spoke to the owner of this lab and I do have my doubts from what I was told :suspect: So although I dont think we should judge but in this circumstance although I could be wrong I think we can be skeptical (sp?) :confused:

Indeed, if you're not happy with what's they've said thats fair enough. Will you be having a look around the place and reporting it if it is a puppy farm? My response to Mr H is more about giving individual cases this level of consideration, regardless of where the original avert was posted.

I cant do anything until I have spoken to Hunni to find out what she has done but she hasnt been on since thursday so my hands are tied until she gets back to me :confused:

hunni asked me to take her over, but i aint heard nothing from her either

are you going to have the lab tattybear :)

Nothing wrong with people who breed from housing estates if they do it properly though ;)

Provided they are not constantly using their own bitch n dog or their offspring.

Anothing thing people need to look out for with such sites as Pre Loved, Ad Trader etc when looking for a new dog, is the amount of scams that are going around at the moment.

Pugs, chihuahua, allt he cute ' in' dogs of the moment, are being advertised for say £200. The seller will ask for payment via bank transfer, might send you a photo of a dog and ask for your address to 'deliver' your dog to.

You'll never see your money or any dog.

I know to those in the know it sounds like no one would fall for something like this, but they must do, or else they wouldn't still be trying it on.

There was one advert for Boston Terriers I found interesting as it said the owner was in Sheffield, I got in touch, they had no other photo but the one on the advert, there email address was registered in France and they claimed to be in Scotland, wanted me to 'pick' which pup I wanted (from the pic, which only showed their behinds) and after payment they'd deliver it to me :rant: they didn't answer any of my questions, and of course visiting was out of the question.

Theres great advice at the top of this group - make use of it :) don't lose your heart and your cash!

are you going to have the lab tattybear :)

I would like to foster him with a view to adopt but I dont know if Hunni went over to get him because I cant get in touch with her. I think im going to try the owner again tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

This labrador has now been re-homed.
Unfortunately neither me or Hunni had any input into this so all we hope is that he has gone to a loving family forever home :)
