I have noticed that there seem to be quite a few threads appearing of dogs for sale on here. I have to say, if I notice them, I report them as they are against board rules but I dont think the op's seem to realise this!!

mods remove them as soon as we see them but we realy do rely on members letting us know as we cant search through every thread.

unfortunaly people are always trying to get away with it even when they know ads will be removed, i think they hope to sell before its deleted.

Yet another dog for sale thread...this time by a section leader!!

There ia a difference between a member of K9 using the site to sell thier dog or puppies and a link to an advertisment where the dog in question is being sold on another site and is deamed to be 'at risk'

Such links assist members of the 'Rescues' and members of K9 find and help these dogs before they end up being further abused.

I for one have no complaints about such links being allowed to remain if it saves even one dog from a life of misery.

me neither ..Its a completely different set of circumstances

 

[Mark Roberts]

THE RULES ARE SIMPLY CLEAR FOR EVERYONE MEMBERS/MODS ECT

 

NO ADVERTISING OF ANY LIVESTOCK WHICH IS FOR SALE

 

ANY MEMBER PERSISTANTLY BREAKING THAT RULE WILL BE PUT STRAIGHT ON MOD REVIEW.

The Moderators of the form have confirmed that posting links to sites such as ePupZ, pets4 homes and such is construed as advertising.

There appear to be no exceptions even if it concerns a dog or bitch in vulnerable circumstances.

Lately, such posts have been removed or the rule emphasized.

I understand the Moderators reasons for doing this, it is 'their job' and it does state clearly on K9 'conditions of posting' that advertisments are not acceptable.

I would therefore request that should a member see such a listing on the internet where they consider the advertised dog or bitch to be in a desperate or vulnerable situation such as a young bitch being sold 'about to come into season' that they PM Jane at Scruples, one of her team or myself so that at least the situation can be considered and if appropriate, action be taken.

This way members can still act without causing a dilema for the Moderators.

I hope that this is acceptable Mark?

following one of these ads allowed us with help from other members to get our Tyg out of a far from satisfactry situation
