i dont think that there is anything you can do to stop the scam artist. my suggestion to everyone is, if you get took on a dog broadcast it to the world. put his name out there, label this person to everyone as a dog jockey. if he cant sell dogs then he aint scamming anybody. if you see an ad in the dog trade and you know its a dog trader, jump on the general discussion and point it out. dont allow these people to do what they are doing. if you dont point em out then you are an enabler.
you also have to think about the dog itself, not the person selling it....
Say you sell a dog that has been doing real good, some Newbie buys him and takes him out the night he buys him and he wont hunt for him... the next day he jumps on the www. and starts throwing it all around that you are a dog jockey and ripped him off...
Some dogs take time to adjust, but some people want them to go to work right away... and thats just not going to happen...
Would you want your name pissed on just because someone was too impatient to let a dog adjust???
And thats just one scenario that could happen...
