I found the PERFECT hunting home for my lurcher via Craig's list. They don't let anyone sell dogs, but you can rehome them for a small fee - in my case I charged the gas money to deliver my boy to his new master.
I also found some used crates of a particular size that I had been looking for, got them for the price I wanted; seems like a good resource.
I have seen many, many hunting dog ads there also. Some folks keep trying to sell their Brittany for $500.00; they want to get the money they put into the trainer out of their rehoming fee -their ad gets complaints and is always pulled because its against the rules to sell dogs, ie if they charged $50.00 they could advertise there, but they want $500.00 -ie not a small rehoming fee.
The point being - has anyone else purused this list? Has anyone gotten a GOOD dog from a source like this?
I still am waiting it out - resisting pointer pups and waiting until the right time.. until I have TIME .. to get a nice V.
Has anyone used Craig's list to obtain a dog?

Yeah...
I am not looking to get a V for at least a year - perhaps 2. But seeing all those dogs on the list - I had to wonder if, like my dog that I placed, if a few were good ones. Its nice to know that there are a few win/win cases!
