Title: **** ETHD's Dog Trade Policy **** Post by: Mike on June 29, 2009, 09:33:21 pm 1. Ads on this board are strictly between buyer and seller, ETHD assumes no responsiblity.
2. You must include a valid e-mail AND phone number in your ad, no replies can be made on this board. If you do not feel comfortable providing that information, then post your ad elsewhere. Negative comments and/or bashing the individual or the dog in other posts will not be tolerated and will result in being banned from this forum. Any disputes between buyers and sellers will be held off the boards and in private. All IPs, phone numbers and e-mail addresses will be turned over to law enforcement if any legal actions are taken. 3. BUYER BEWARE... research the seller as much as possible. If the majority of their posts are in The Dog Trade, that should tell you something. 4. Sound advise: If you are going to spend a bunch of money on a dog ... GO SEE THE DOG HUNT/CATCH BEFORE YOU BUY. Any respectable person selling a proven dog will not have a problem with this, if they do turn and run the other way. Also get a trial period on the dog, but remember this... it takes a lot of dogs time to get used to their new owner and new packs. A short trial period is not always sufficient. *** WARNING TO SELLERS *** If you are advertising a "strike" dog or "finished" dog... you must be willing to show this dog in the woods!!! If you are not willing... do not advertise the dog on here!!! *** WARNING TO BUYERS *** DO NOT... I REPEAT, DO NOT MEET AN INDIVIDUAL SOMEWHERE AND HAND OVER YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A DOG YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HUNT OR CATCH!!!!!!! |
