Good thing I'm on the east coast or there would be a new baby waiting for my hubby when he got home today.

I just joined this board yesterday. Olivia is the female I adopted from these people.

It is strange, but when I picked her up on Sunday, which is the date this ad was placed, they did not mention she had had a litter or that they had this male up for adoption also. I found Olivia through Craigslist as well.

I have a wierd feeling now, and wonder if I should contact this person as she had told me Olivia has been spayed, and now I see an ad for one of her pups. I realize that he is 14 months old, and she could have been spayed between now and then, but I don't know.

I have asked my sister-in-law who works at the pet hospital to come by and look at Olivia.

 

[Grommett]

Well, I talked with the previous owner, and I feel confident that all is as she says. I have also spoken to the vet they took Olivia to, and they are going to send her info to my vet.

Can we all say BYB!

 

[Basset Momma]

i'm so glad you adopted the momma! I hope the boy fares as well-

Can someone give me a definition of Back Yard Breeder? Do you consider anyone who wants to have a litter of pups a BYB? Not trying to start anything - am just curious.

 

[Emma and Doris]

Probably the best definition I have found so far to answer "What is a back yard breeder (BYB)?" comes from Boxerworld.com:

"The average pet owner that breeds their dog(s)."

this is the one I responded to wanted to rescue her from being banished outside but never got a response so glad she found a good home feel so much better. didn't realize the male basset was from the same home i also reponded to that one to gave them basset rescue info. Does anyone know if they found a home for him?

welcome to the board Grommett maybe we will be meeting sometime at one of the basset gatherings.

I don't think wanting a litter of pups is wrong, but giving away dogs on the internet is wrong. Lucky for Olivia she landed in a good home.
