Pregnant dog??

Firstly, you can't "sell" animals on Craigslist. It's against the TOS. You can only rehome them with a small fee.

Second, if you can't guarantee a home for at least ten puppies, you need to have her spayed. It will be easier on mom, has less risk of complications, and is better than trying to find homes for puppies that you can't guarantee will be taken care of.

As I said before, there's a lot of purebreds in shelters. They get put down just as fast the rest of them. The 72-hour rule doesn't care about what breed or how young the dog is. No-kill shelters will transfer their animals to kill shelters when they run out of room.

Puppies are cute and all, but these are lives we're talking about. You need to consider the amount of stress that this is going to put mom through, the risk of complications especially since this is her first litter, and the difficulty of finding suitable homes for 10+ large dogs. They don't stay puppies forever.

even more complications since she is young.

reputable breeders don't breed ANY dog til 2 years, because OFA's cannot be done on a dog under 2 years of age, and XL dog breeders wait until 3 years.. they don't do this for no reason...

You can sell animals on craigslist. It's one of the main uses. Are you thinking of Facebook?

It's against the terms of service to sell animals on Craigslist, and they routinely ban the IPs of ads posted that do so.

Huh. We've used it for years for birds and have never had any issues

They don't seem to have as much issue with it if you post livestock ads in the "farm and garden" section, or when people post ads for reptiles in "pets."

They seems to hyperfocus on dog and cat sales. Birds don't seem to get as much ire, either. I suppose it's because the most common shelter animals (and the most common victims of kill shelters) is dogs and cats.

I think your not supposed to sell pets, but I see many people do it anyway. They simply call the cost a "rehoming fee".

Yes, but you'll get flagged and your ad will be removed if the fee is too high. It's supposed to be a "small" rehoming fee -- I've seen $45 for cats and $75 for dogs. Essentially, if you're charging more than a shelter adoption rate, the ad will get taken down.

Ahh, that could make sense

Plus birds and reptiles need to be intentionally bred. More work goes into incubating, hatching, and rearing birds than throwing a male dog and a female dog together and letting them go at it.
