ok, as it sits right now i have one baby left from this litter that i would like to find her own people for (this is not a dire emergency, she's here till the right one comes along)....this is my little Meghan and i have not really tried hard to place her as i have wanted to see how she was going to develop as she grew....she is doing great (especially since i have started chiro treatments w/ her) and i feel she would do even better in a more 1 on 1 home......all the other babies were either 1) placed w/ friends that i have known awhile 2) i kept or 3) by word of mouth by people i know .....

i would like to "expand" Meghan's "availabiliy" from more than just that and have had many people recommend Petfinder.....i really hesitate to do so as i just don't feel it is altogether a "good" place.....i'm just not sure about the people that are there.....of course, no matter what, i screen all prospective people for any pup and have an app. specifically for Meghan, but still.....

what do you guys feel about Petfinder? good place or no?

As long as you're able to interview the people in person, I don't see a problem with Petfinder.

What about talking with your local BC rescue group/s? They pre-screen and so do you, and so in that way you might be finding a less impulsive buyer? I'm not sure they would work with this since it's not a rescue, but perhaps they would do a sort of courtesy post or something...

i thought on that one as well, FoZ, and even contacted 2 of them.....no response back from either one....anything would definitely be double, tripled and quadruple checked and then checked on from there....

You could post on petfinder, craigslist, and the classifieds of the news paper. Just include that you screen anyone interested.

I don't think petfinder is appropriate. She's NOT a rescue. You bred her. Ditto with Craigslist.

I would put word out through your other puppy buyers, friends in the breed, fellow classmates at any performance venues, etc.

thanx, guys....i don't think i'll put her on there.....Dogstar, i know that she is not a rescue, but i have seen dogs on there that were not rescues b/4.....not often but they have been there.....i just don't know about the people that go looking there, for the most part.....

but like i said, i have no problem w/ her being here forever....i just don't feel that i can give her the full attention that she needs to be whatever she can be and i feel bad that she doesn't get to be w/ me all the time like the goosing dogs.....i love her tons, tho, and i'll just keep working w/ her and giving her all that i can.....
