If you're going to sell dogs...

Please refrain from allowing spelling and grammatical errors to run rampant in your ads. In fact, do me a favor and do not sell dogs at all. Because 'Doberman Pinchers', 'German Shepards', 'Dashounds/Dachshounds/Docksunds/Dachshuhnds/Weener dogs', 'Pomerians' and 'Shnauzers' do not exist. When you say you have 'purebread' puppies, some strange images come to mind.

Example A:



And for those of you buying a dog, don't support breeders like those. If they can't even spell their own dogs, that's just a bad sign.

This post was inspired while perusing through online classified ads for dogs. No, I cannot have another one. No, I am not highly considering another one...yet. I just look for fun sometimes. Is that nerdy? Probably no more-so than knowing all about how to spell different breeds and then ranting about it when people get them wrong.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!

AHHH i love you!!! we are the same!!!!!

1. i look at dog ads all the time.i even pick up little nickels at the grocery store just to look through the dog section
2. and i think we've talked about the misspelling of "breeders" in ads before, haven't we?? i did tell you about the time i called for a dachshund ad in the paper and the later said "what breed are you interested in? the poodles or the Dash Hounds?" she literally thought it was pronounced dash hound.
