That's true. I watched Dateline once, and it said that they registered a pig as a golden retriever. That's why alot of people prefer to use CKC. AKC will accept a picture, and boom, your dog is registered, but CKC actually has to come to your house and spend some time with your dog.

I think that these people want what is best for their pets; they are just looking in the wrong place. I don't think that Ebay is much different than putting an ad in the paper.. but it's just...You're letting people bid for your pet...these could be people thousands of miles away. I wouldn't trust it, and I don't agree with it. However, I'd be more concerned about WHO gets my pet than how they get it. I don't know, it's pretty conflicting. I hope that these pets find some loving homes. Ebay does the best it can to keep these things from happening; there are so many ads; you can't exactly screen all of them in a day.
