Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Requiring pictures with listings?
It's just kind of annoying seeing people post without pictures asking to text or email for pictures. I don't know I just find it less professional.

It's a choice people have to make for themselves.
A lot of people won't bother to contact them, but some will. I suppose some sellers think of it as weeding out less serious inquiries...I view sending multiple pics to individuals, vs posting them, to be a huge waste of my time. Some people post largely from their smart phones, and they may find it easier to text/email than post attachments. Then, there are the ones that don't want to post because it increases the likelihood that somebody will recognize the images they took from another breeder's site, Google, etc.
Regardless of anybody's reason for not posting pictures, I think it unlikely that it will be made a requirement to do so.

In this day and age, I personally think it's rather ill conceived of anyone to not utilize every advantage they can come up with in order to try to sell their animals. With the number of options available for people to take photos and provide them in ads on the internet, seriously, it's hard to defend any excuse for not doing so. But make it a rule? Nope, that's just not going to happen. I try to give people a lot of freedom here, even if it means allowing them to choose unwisely sometimes. Choosing to NOT provide photos to catch the eyes and interest of someone, in my opinion, is just plain foolish. Why make a rule to try to smarten them up? The marketplace will tend to weed them out sooner or later, I suppose.
But you want to know something else that has always baffled me? Why in the world would someone go through all the effort to list something for sale and then neglect to provide one of the most important bits of information to a reader? I'm talking about price, of course. I don't know how many times I have asked for information over the years on something or another from a seller (in all types of lines of interest) and then gotten expensive copy sent to me with everything BUT the price enclosed. Well, I just throw it in the trash, of course. And put the seller on the list of companies that are just wasting my time. If they feel the need to have a fast talking salesman trying to set a hook in me, then that is a near certainty that they want more than even they think they should be selling it for.
To paraphrase a popular saying, "If I have to ask, then it's probably worth more to you than to me, anyway."
And I NEVER play the game of "Well, how much are you willing to pay for it?" If YOU are offering it for sale, state the blasted price you want and be done with it.
