Note: This is not a WTS ad, merely a suggestions thread.

My BIL's lab is having puppies sometime in the next week and he has charged me with selling them for him, in exchange I get to have my pick of the litter. They're champion labs/lines and will be the highest quality possible, I am just unsure about how to get rid of them and making sure they go to good homes as I have never done this before.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing or can recommend the right places to advertise?

My Plan so far includes:

1. Oregonian Classified
2. Flyers at Sportsman's, Fisherman's, etc kind of places
3. Some specialty dog websites
4. ????

TIA

You can't sell dogs on craig's list only offer them for free or a small adoptioni fee.  It pretty dumb if you ask me.

I've got that working for me right now, The sire and bitch are both from Sunny View Labradors and he is referring people to us so hopefully that works out too.

Zeiss, if you can send me pictures of both parents and pictures of the puppies when they're born I could help you place them.  Pedigrees of the parents would be helpful.  Let me know how much you're selling them for.

*ETA* I have a questionnaire on my website that I use to screen potential buyers you're welcome to use.  Do a google search for awesome gsps and you'll find me.  The questionnaire is on my planned breeding page.

That's the most important part.
