I don't know who would do this to a pup.

 

[monicaei]

Wtf?

 

[StarlightDobe]

did anyone not notice all the horses on there? or is that normal?

 

[VZ-Doberman]

Obviously the owner/breeder has been sniffing too much horse manure. Why would you do that to a puppy?

Lots of high end horses are sold at auction, ie the Keeneland Yearling sale. Not over the Internet though. At least not to my knowledge.

Ive been to a horse auction in person but I have never heard of it over the internet .. as for the puppy, thats pretty sad too, not sure what they are thinking.

 

[monicaei]

Yeah, that's just disgusting

The horses are .. you are buying a breeding to the horses unless you go to the horses for sale folders. Horses are marketed on the net a lot. Gets a wider audience.

usually at large breed shows they will hold auctions and alot of buying on them is done online

Are you referring to "large breed" dogs or large volume horse horse auctions?

Either way, and I'm hoping its horses, how can you speculate on the soundness of a horse via the Internet? Are they skype'd or something?

It would appear that a "Licensed Funeral Director" would do this...

Richardson Funeral Home

There's a picture of Ginny Richardson-Clark half way down the page, and the email address for the auction is the same one for this funeral home.

Her bio says that when she's not at the funeral home, she enjoys her dogs...BLAH

In horses a breed show is a show that is specifically for one breed like quarter horses , arabs, paints etc. etc. and the large just mean bigger volume breed shows The World Appaloosa show has a Huge auction and alot are bought online. The AQHA and AHA do the same thing

How do they possibly account for soundness online? Buyer beware? How can you evaluate a horse online? Or is this mostly brood stock?

I have some horse history, and know some folks sell "school master" FEI level horses online. But it's all on consignment, and there are stipulations in the contracts. How does that work in large volume online auctioning?

 

[Whiskey]

I think they stipulate the soundness of the horse or you don't have to pay for it.

 

[monicaei]

That seems like a silly way to sell horses. Online? High volume sales? Seems more like moving merchandise than responsible horsemanship.
