It's not my litter, it's not my job to find them homes. Marla never places the puppies until they are old enough to know what homes are best. She always waits to see how the puppies turn out before placing them accordingly -- after all, with the huge difference between the dam's and sire's drive and hardness level, these will be very different puppies. We can't honestly tell someone that half the litter is going to be high drive and hard tempered and half the litter is going to be low drive and soft tempered. There will probably be some low drive hard tempered, some high drive soft tempered, etc. And then we also don't know how many of them will be show quality. After all, at 4 weeks they could be fine, and then at 8 weeks their bite could go off. It isn't responsible to ask people to send in their deposits when we just can't tell them what they are getting. It's best to wait until the puppies are 8 weeks old so that we can more accuratly guess what they will turn out to be like. Belgians are very dangerous dogs that can not go to just any home -- they need to go to a home that suits their temperment. While we can take someone's name and number, there is no guarantee that they are getting a puppy. Marla will even GIVE a puppy to the right home, and she's done it several times before (hence why she loses money lol).
That's what people keep warning me about -- is there any way to avoid this? I don't really plan on buying things on ebay, just selling. Will this help keep my account safe?
That's awesome, that is what I'm hoping for. I'm moving in to a new place and it's going to cost me $250 more a month. I'd love something just to help out a bit, as I HATE spending money (on myself, atleast. When it comes to the animals, go wild, but when it comes to myself..
).

Of couse I've only tried selling a few bracelets to get a feel for how it works.
