Troy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It is annoying not knowing exactly who it is. Private registrations of domains shouldn't be permitted. The site is hosted in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Mr Samson Adams has deleted his personal twitter account, as well as removed his resume from his website. I think that confirms it's the same person. His website is still cached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 While this may not have been done in the right way at least if someone is looking for a dog & this site comes up they will know that there are registered breeders of pedigree dogs too. As we all know the term registered breeder can mean registered with the council & many people don't know the difference. Unless the site says anything detrimental about pedigree dogs or gives out stupid information I wouldn't worry about this. Almost all breeders can be found on the internet anyway.

The site has been taken down. But you would have been okay with your details being listed, and having to meet his rules and thoughts on breeding before you could edit your details? And being listed next to puppy farmers both under the heading of "ethical breeders"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The owner may not have personally taken stuff off Dogzonline. You can buy lists of information. A similar thing happened to a company I worked for. We purchased a list of contact details, these had been taken from another website, the other website found out and were quite grumpy.

And being listed next to puppy farmers both under the heading of "ethical breeders"? There's been advice on how to source a puppy on the Net since 2008. CHOICE (formerly Australian Consumers' Association) had done their research & come up with an advisory page. Pedigree dog breeders are mentioned as a group & a link given to Dogzonline. There's a subtle pointing people to AKC registered breeders & responsible rescue. 'Designer dog' breeders are mentioned but no specific links are given. What they do & claim in the 'crossing' is critically commented on by rep of AVA. I think, tho' a reader already needs to be a bit more informed to read between the lines. It would be great to see CHOICE review this page & produce an updated version. Especially one that gives an explanation of words like 'registered' & also mention more up to date relevant research. http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/household/backyard/pets/buying-a-dog.aspx Edited June 20, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
