Dog Section: What are your thoughts on this (+BQ)? - Beautiful Nightmare - 11-27-2012 06:42 AM
Personally, it made me so mad. Read all of the details that come with the picture:

BQ:If you came across that dog at a car boot sale, what would you do?
(I'm not sure if Americans have car boot sales...If not, it's basically a place where people show up to sell all of their junk that they no longer want).
@Wabbits: BQ means "Bonus Question".

Wow. That's terrible but not uncommon. BYBs will do anything to get money off of their puppies. I hope someone takes the mother dog too.

In America, it's called a garage sale. In America, people don't sell dogs at garage sales, unless you were talking about a stray around the garage sale, in which case I would leave it. Also in America, we don't know what the abbreviation "BQ" means. Or at least I don't.

We have the same thing in America, people selling their poor quality, backyard bred pups from their cars, at places like gas stations, grocery stores.
It makes me mad, and I have a hard time keeping my thoughts to myself. I have mentioned spaying to them, but in one ear, and out the other.

My thoughts are that whoever did that is scum but it's not uncommon. What would I do? Don't know... probably not a lot as I couldn't take the dog myself and as far as I know, it's not illegal to sell dogs like that.

Wabbits, I live in the US and sometimes garage sale. Have seen puppies for sale at them. Quite sickening.
- raspywater345 - 11-27-2012 06:51 AM
Not that unusual, just another scum BYBer trying to make easy money.
Since I work with a rescue, and already have two Border Collies of my own I'd Probaly keep in my care until he could find an owner.

What made me grind my teeth in annoyance was when I browsed through the other dogs and noticed the beautiful seven year old senior Dobermann b*tch Tara dumped by her family and based on the information provided the family were unsuited to own the breed. It will be more of a challenge to find a permanent home for an older dog at the stage of life when expenses begin to increase than a fluffy pup.
BQ: If I had come across Tara being sold at a car boot sale [though I don’t know of any that sell dogs] I would have purchased to prevent an idiot unsuited to owning the breed taking her on and then depending on her temperament keep her or find a suitable permanent home through breed rescue.
