Seems like a good place to place an ad for litters. In fact it seems like a great place to place an ad. It would not be a bid format and you are still responsible for who you sell your puppies to. As long as it is simply a classified listing I really see no reason to pan this idea. I'll be curious to hear opposing views on this. John Sorry - no opposing view here. My first thought was why is this any different than placing an ad in any other venue? There is nothing lost here - the buyer still retains control over who purchases the puppy. As for the puppy mill argument, most true puppy mills sell to wholesalers and pet stores anyway. If you're worried about BYBs and small puppy mills, again this is no different than placing an ad in the newspaper, Dog World, what have you.
