Whilst logged on yesterday evening to dog show entry.ie, which is the main site in Ireland for online entries for all dog shows held under licence of the Irish Kennel Club, I noticed that the Buy & Sell have taken out some advertising space on the site.
When I clicked through I was directed to the Buy & Sell dog section, and the following ad was featured on the first page.
Now you would have to consider that if this “Person” has all these stud dogs available, they might also have their own bitches to service them on as well. Some people would consider this “Person” a Puppy Farmer.
It seems that I am not the only person to have noticed this, as a few people have posted the same details and their shock regarding the same on their Facebook pages.
In the case above all these dogs are registered with the IKC.
Now Dog Show Entry.ie is an online facility whereby dog exhibitors in Ireland can enter 99% of the dog shows held under licence of the Irish kennel Club, with no agricultural or non IKC run shows available to enter, therefore they are endorsing shows that come under the IKC umbrella. Yet the Buy & Sell will allow any type of dog to be advertised, including T cup varieties,designer breeds and non IKC registered dogs.
On the 20-04-11 the Buy & Sell sent an email out to anyone that had signed up to their newsletter advising that they had formed a partnership with the IKC, and now following on from this we have Dog Show Entry.ie promoting the same site, even though as stated above they don’t fully support the IKC registration system and allow “People” like the above to use their site to peddle their wares.
I ask myself why, and always end up at the same answer….
* 15-06-11 Looks like the Ad was removed…Maybe becuase a little heat was applied !
