As above. I have some goldendoodles available and wondering if posting in miscellaneous is allowed?
 
Yep, I see that puppies aren't allowed for sale although I've seen them for sale here....
I don't get why people are so against listing a dog for sale.
 
No offense and I'm not saying this is the case here but I'd say it had to do with everything Tom, Dick, and Harry trying to make a quick buck because Stella's got the purtiest pups in the world and I just know people would want them. Puppy mills are real and scuggy folks don't have any business breeding a 9 year old dog that's beyond her prime.

Can you remember a name or time when they were listed and not deleted?
I'd be glad to search the archives and verify.

I'd mea culpa if we let that one get by, but if what you are saying is true - you are saying the forum mods didnt do their job and that would be worth looking into.

I did not know that was a real thing until many years ago. I mentioned to a good friend that when I was a kid my mom bread Dobermans, and even Great Danes for a while. He expressed his disgust and shock that my family done that. I didn’t understand why, and he explained. His mind instantly went to “puppy mill” and I’d never heard of such a thing.

Our breeding was from our female that was the family pet, well loved and cared for. We would every year or every other year bread with another like minded dog owner with papers, healthy well loved dogs and that person would get pick of the litter. At one time we did have a male Great Dane and we got to pick the puppy after our male was the stud. We had those dogs for a very long time and they were loved family pets that I grew up with.

First time I saw a documentary for a puppy mill I was horrified

This has been the rule since before you joined and I can only find threads I or another mod has deleted.
 
I've been here a long time and I have yet to see a for sale thread on animals. I have seen re-home threads which is totally different.

I'm sure she did great at it. Unfortunately, some don't. I guess if you have "breeder" in your title then it legitimizes it because there's checks and certifications that have to take place. I have a lot of other points to make but my kids won't stop talking to me and I can't concentrate.

No biggie as they sell fine elsewhere. Just thought someone here might want a great breed.
I know some complain about high cost of a goldendoodle but it's just what the market is. I didn't set it. Nor did I raise the price to $800 avg for most any desirable breed.
We bought a female and loved her personality so much we decided to get her a friend. Why not a male GD? I confess....I thought hmmm? I can make some extra cash placing the pups with good families. I'm ashamed of myself

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that thought process. As for the rules here, just is what it is. It’s an off road forum, no biggy. But now everyone knows you have them and can PM you if they’re interested. Mission accomplished ;)
 
Not selling just showing a little brindle boy that is now a Floridian.

Look I’m still seeing a lot of bitterness since you “bought” a lab and got a golden. I had you one lined up but you had to have a yellow one.
 
Like a proud father just showing off our Goldendoodle
" Abby's pups.
Dad is chocolate and white mom is light apricot.

There is an old saying about honey and vinegar that is seem relevant here.
Also one abut squeaky wheels and grease.
And another about producing more than your maintenance.

But I digress.
 
Don 't have time to answer all above but;
I didn't see info. on my initial question so I asked with no slick motive. Just figured a mod would answer and then delete thread if against rules.
I was asked to prove (by a mod) I had seen an ad selling dogs.
I pasted what I saw....an ad selling dogs.

So now I'm told I should have reported that "dogs for sale " thread and not put my "evidence" on the thread.

What a bunch of BS from some here.

The same rules are posted at the top of each of the For Sale forums. I answered your question by posting a link to said rules.

I searched and didn't find that post and, hopefully obviously, had missed it when it was posted in January. @Ron seems to have done the same. Neither of us asked you to "prove it" but said that if you pointed us in the right direction, we'd address it. We take enforcing the rules seriously, so that we're doing so fairly. You posted a screen shot, as opposed to posting a link, so I still had to search for the offending post. It's now been deleted, btw.

I thought it worthwhile to mention that there are tools within the forum to address something when you see it, so mods can address it at that time. I don't see reminding users of that function as BS.

Why not do both? You could have shown your proof AND done your part reporting a thread that is against the rules.
