As a breeder, I used Puppies.com when it was still Puppyfind.com. I recently did a litter and advertised it under new ownership (or restructured management idk) as puppies.com. Total waste of money. I used to use puppyfind.com exclusively and my puppies would be sold within a week to two weeks. Yes, you get a lot of sketchy people, but that's with any public ad. You simply have to interview and weed them out and taker precautions when accepting payments. However, under the new (improved?) puppies.com I received >>>ZERO<<<< inquiries. And since they have removed the ability to bump up your ad, you'll never get seen after the first two hours of listing because you will be shoved into non-existence on page hundred. Since people can't bump up ads they have to resort to making MORE ads. And the more ads there are the even more swamped the site becomes. This is very counterproductive and puppy buyers shouldn't have to wade through that and sellers shouldn't have to make ad after ad in hopes to be seen.
Puppyfind.com worked great. I have no idea what idiot decided to "fix" something that worked fine. Putting on a shiny new website (now bloated and over done) does not make things better. It was a reliable advertising system that's now defunct. Very disappointing.
