One page I am on has just had a very intense discussion about puppy photos in general because some money hungry people cannot help themselves and are ruining it for everyone.
And there have been more posts about scam sales here mainly in Vic and OS. And this is all just one breed which I don't even think is super popular or common. The next couple of years for pounds, shelters and rescue could be quite difficult. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy!

Dogsfevr Posted November 1, Puppies have been in thousand bracket for many many years.
Edited November 1, by Dogsfevr. Posted November 1, A lot of it did. The pandemic has caused a lot of people to be home more. Sadly, being willing to pay huge prices is no guarantee of responsibility or appreciation. A lot of dogs in need coming up soon.
I am getting phone calls on average three to five a week, some days that many in one day. As for letting anyone have a main register pup and keep members in the ANKC? Most of the breeders are dead end kennels, Never sell a main register pup. But dont worry. So it is up to the real puppy farms to gear up and meet the demand. The ankc have seen this coming for years. Teebs Posted November 1, I'm looking too and have pretty much given up for the moment.
And there will be people who see these prices, and think hey, easy money. Posted November 2, That doesn't tell you how the problems come to be in the 1st place, or how to solve them.

I may seem to be an idiot, I know many have told me to "go see a doctor, your sick in the head" Well.
If so any solution suggestions? According to even the present code of ethics, " This was called in my day creating the scene "for divided we fall! Today if you dont show, again that person is considered unethical and irresponsible?
Lee Gibson, from Pets4Homes, said between April and June visits to the website peaked at 20 million a month - double last year's figure. He said: "I think people had more time at home - and with their children. They knew they could put the time and effort into training a dog. And secondly, there was a need for companionships.
For many people lockdown has been a lonely time. The website acts as an online marketplace, with the dog breeders themselves determining what prices to charge. Claire Calder, from the Dogs Trust rescue charity, said lockdown had created a "perfect storm" for puppy sales with many people thinking this is the ideal time to take on a pet - but she's worried about the future.
Another danger is that high prices will further encourage the illegal importation of puppies or heavily pregnant dogs from smuggling hotspots in eastern or central Europe. Even at the height of lockdown, she says it was "business as usual" for puppy smugglers - with dozens of rescued pups coming into the charity's care.
Six puppies found in the back of a van which arrived in Dover from Romania had to be shaved because they were covered in oil. Smuggled puppies are often in poor health or poorly socialised because of their early life experiences. Last month two spaniel puppies were found dying by the roadside in Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway.
It's believed they had been brought into the country at the port of Cairnryan, then dumped by puppy traffickers when they became unwell during the journey. Many dogs advertised for sale are not what they seem - the Dogs Trust calls this "dogfishing" and offers this advice:. Are you finding it difficult to breathe yet? Just be prepared that your puppy may end up costing you thousands of dollars. Of course there is an alternative to purchasing an expensive puppy from a reputable breeder: Rescue shelters.
In reality, many dogs in rescue shelters are there due to no fault in the dog themselves. From this list you can surmise there are plenty of dogs in shelters who have had no history of unwanted behaviors. Covid has definitely shaken up rescue shelters around the country.
While some are inundated with people who are giving up their dogs and puppies, others are seeing mass evacuations as stay at home workers adopt dogs. Another option is to keep an ear out for people who have found having a puppy all too difficult. However, if you do find someone who wants to give up their pup, then you should still be sure the breed is a good fit for you and your situation.
Yes, people do return their puppy to the breeder. There can be a variety of reasons why someone might return a puppy. Living situations change, and sometimes people just realize the time it takes to raise a puppy is more than they can handle.
You may be able to get a discount if the puppy has aged in between the purchase date and return date. View Larger Image. Table of Contents hide. About the Author: Marie Capell.
