Canine Classifieds – Part 10
For Sale – Adult Dog
Any time a dog is advertised for sale in the classified section of a newspaper, caution flags should go up immediately. Why are they trying to sell the dog? What’s wrong with the dog?
Has he been cared for properly? Is the person selling the dog in the business of selling dog?
People’s situations change. Often times when people get a dog they don’t understand how much of a commitment they are making to the dog. When they find out, they want to get rid of the dog. And the dog is stuck in a kennel run or dog crate 
until they do.
Most quality breeders have a return policy. This policy states if for any reason you no longer want the dog, they will take it back. They won’t buy it back, but they will take it back and find a new home for the dog.
Is the person who is advertising the dog, a caring person? A person who really cares for the dog, but for some reason has to part with it? If this were the case, the ad would read, Adult Dog Free to Good Home.
