Not sure if those who read this are aware of this sort of thing, it seems to becoming more common unfortunately.

Yet again another Ebay "person" is trying to sell a Stafford. The main selling points are ", Red female with papers, "proven breeder".

Now I don't have to express my dismay and the ramifications of this. It also happened a while ago and the person was selling the dog to stud! What happened then was a lot of people on different forums emailed eBay to express disapproval and complain, and also contacted the seller. This happened for 2 days and the "product" as they call it was withdrawn.

I suggest that if you feel strongly about this subject we do the same again. I will attach the link, so people are provided a direct link to complain to the seller and to eBay. It could be seen as advertising it, however in this case I think that swamping eBay and the seller with emails of disapproval far outweigh the implication of a few hits on a sellers page.

I have emailed eBay and the seller.

Hey Steve...i seen it also, i've emailed ebay & seller ..i've blogged about it also....

hi steve
it has been removed
no longer listed,

Well how good is that, removed in only a few hours, now I just worry what will become of the girl? When I messaged the seller I advised them to contact the local Staffy club on how to best and most suitably rehome her girl. Here is hoping she takes the advice and does not dump her!!

Just breaks my heart when you hear things like this. there is no need for it
