Unique Ways to Sell Puppies

So you have found a suitable mate for your dog, gone through the stages of dog pregnancy and raised a litter of healthy puppies. While it might seem like the hard work is over, it isn't. The next step is selling the puppies, and doing so at a nice price. The best way to get top dollar for your puppies is to find creative, unique ways to sell them. Newspaper ads are outdated; consider some new and inventive ways to sell your puppies and place them in good, caring, forever homes.

  1. The Local Dog Park

    • Visit your local dog park on a Saturday or Sunday and set up shop. The weekend is the prime time for people who are looking to spend time with their dogs. Place your mother dog and puppies in a large kennel in the shade, and with plenty of water and food. Put up signs indicating that you have puppies for sale. Dog parks are abound with people who love dogs, giving you an advantage. Strike up conversation and talk to people about your dogs. Offer deals to the right person, serious buyers who can give your puppies a good home.

    The Internet

    • The Internet is a huge resource for people looking for pets. It is because of the Internet that placing ads in your local newspaper is an increasingly obsolete way to sell puppies. Take pictures of your puppies and place them on websites like PawSitesOnline.com with information, and interact with people all over the country who are interested in purchasing a puppy. These websites allow prospective puppy owners to do everything but pick the dog up and hold it in their arms, from placing an initial order before the puppies are even born to arranging for a delivery of the puppy by plane.

    Hold a Puppy Festival

    • Hold a small party or festival for the people in your community, giving them an opportunity to meet your mother dog and her puppies. Plan some dog-related games for the kids (such as Pin the Tail on the Doggy) and talk to the adults about proper care of puppies and what a dog can bring to the family. This is a great way to sell your puppies and make sure that they are going home with families who can handle the responsibility.
