Craigslist Dogs 2 – More Dogs For Trade
More Dogs For Trade on Craigslist
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. This is how we use the great networking tool known as craigslist, to trade our dogs for gaming systems and younger or prettier dogs. Perhaps this is part of the reason we have so many homeless pets; no one seems to remember that they’re supposed to be a lifelong commitment.
I’m sure there are some good dogs listed on craigslist, just as some desperate owners that don’t know where else to turn. But these posters are trying to make trades for their dogs…
I’m not advocating any of these trades; I find it extremely depressing sad that there are so many of these dog trading posts. I can only hope that these dogs end up in nice loving homes.
🙁
Do people still get dogs off Criags List? I guess so. In the case of working dogs, I can understand rehoming if they do not turn out to be able to work. Often times that is the best thing for the dog and the person. I am also not opposed to rehoming dogs where they are not a fit but Craigs List is not a good option. Ugg on the “silver labs”.
Yeah it’s amazing how many people are out there looking for and trading dogs on CL. You know your Dog DNA, Silver Labs are pretty much thought to be Weimaraner mixes aren’t they? I couldn’t find any convincing evidence to suggest otherwise.
I believe it is a dilute. And yes I think at one time they may have crossed Weims. but I don’t know how far back that was. As I understand it, the more modern silvers were the result of very heavy line breeding.
We have dilute in Chessies and they call the color “ash” which is dilute brown. But unlike Labs the color is accepted. It is more widespread in Chessies than Labs. Thunder actually has the recessive dilute gene. He has sired some ash kids.
Thanks, I knew you’d know the answer. 🙂
Wow interesting post. Puppies for guns is impressive. Craigs list is for everything these days!
It’s really depressing isn’t it?
what the actual heck? I am starting to lose faith in humanity because of finding out that people trade dogs in craigslist, it makes me sick…god they are living breathing beings not some random object that you can stuff into a box and through away, god humanity what the heck is wrong with you?!?! by the way I have 3 dogs and am happy with them even tho they can be annoying sometimes.
PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS NOT WHAT OUR SOCIETY IS. TRADING AND SELLING DOGS AND CATS AS IF THEY WERE MATERIAL THINGS. DOGS, AND CATS ARE LIVING BEINGS THAT DO HAVE FEELINGS AND FEEL AND CRY IN THEIR OWN WAY . THEY ARE BETTER COMPANIONS THAN ANY HUMAN I HAVE KNOWN IN MY LIFE ( I HAVE BEEN ON THIS EARTH A LONG TIME ). THEY ARE A TRUE BLESSING , A WONDERFUL COMPANION, THEY LOVE US UNCONDITIONALLY, WILL PROTECT US, ALERT US IF SOMETHING IS WRONG, MAKE US SMILE, CHEER US UP, HELP US NOT BE DEPRESSED, ALWAYS LOYAL TO US. DOGS HAVE SAVED LIVES . THEY SHOULD BE TREATED WITH LOVE AND RESPECT . TO ALL YOU OUT THERE WHO THINK IT’S OK TO TRADE AND SELL A DOG OR CAT FOR YOUR OWN GAIN , PLEASE THINK AGAIN AND FIND ANOTHER WAY . IF YOU AREN’T GOING TO LOVE AND RESPECT THEM, PLEASE DON’T GET THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY TRULY ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS.
Needing a small dog for my severe depression. Was just approved to have a dog in my apartment
