Confused Why did the guy feel the need to be topless in the ad? How weird.
BuckyLastard · 06/10/2015 20:05

What freaks you out?, the topless man?

TheoriginalLEM · 06/10/2015 20:11

I couldn't give a stuff about the man in the photos but I think selling dogs like this should be illegal.

WannabeLaraCroft · 06/10/2015 21:38

Shock Grin

Is he trying to do that hot, topless celeb/cute dog thing? Cos it ain't working!

Reminds me of the woman who advertises on eBay with her boobs out!

Poor dog!

TheoriginalLEM · 06/10/2015 21:38

i tend to agree with you there sooty. just struck me as mildly amusing

YABU to be freaked out by a topless man.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/10/2015 21:47

Aww so cute. The pups not bad, either.Grin

ManicPixieDream · 06/10/2015 21:55

Particularly like the shot of him looking straight at the camera Grin

TheoriginalLEM · 06/10/2015 22:03

I'm freaked out that anyone wouldn't want to keep such a gorgeous little puppy.

Goalie · 06/10/2015 22:22

The rifle on his oven in the background is a tad worrying... misses point of post

TiredButFineODFOJ · 06/10/2015 22:22

He is probably going to use the same picture on a dating site profile.

SirRodneyEffing · 06/10/2015 22:25

The gun in the kitchen freaked me out the most

ShebaShimmyShake · 06/10/2015 23:07

It's a rifle? I thought it was one of those exercise things you squeeze and press.

TheLambShankRedemption · 06/10/2015 23:40

It says it is from a working line, so seems pretty normal for the owner of working gun dogs to have a gun.

JohnCusacksWife · 06/10/2015 23:48

YABU to look for a puppy on preloved. Don't encourage these people.

DramaAlpaca · 06/10/2015 23:54

It might be normal for the owner of a working gun dog to have a gun, but it would be a shotgun, not a rifle. Weird ad.

StayWithMe · 06/10/2015 23:59

Poor wee dog probably didn't cut the mustard as a gun dog so he's looking rid if it. I hope the right person takes it. I dread to think what could happen otherwise. Sad

KoalaDownUnder · 07/10/2015 00:16

Bloody horrible way of trading in animals.

Couldn't care less about the fugly flat-headed bloke. Angry

KoalaDownUnder · 07/10/2015 00:17

(Sorry, but am totally humourless about this kind of thing)

Aeroflotgirl · 07/10/2015 07:34

I would go to local resues and Try the Dogs trust, not sites like this. Preloved my are, if these pets were preloved they would not be treated like this!

Thefitfatty · 07/10/2015 07:37

I think it's the look (or the lack of life) in his eyes that's particularly disturbing.....I'm hoping he isn't asking people to come pick the puppy up from his isolated farmhouse where he lives alone with very hungry pigs...

TheoriginalLEM · 07/10/2015 08:17

JohnCUsakwife - would never get a puppy or dog from on here, was just browsing for rescue dogs and came across this. I did state this in my OP.

Thefitfatty - that was my thoughts exactly - its almost like he is holding the poor thing for ransom Sad
