kijiji ads

[Maria]

Wanted to make a post about funny/ odd kijiji ads, because...

We all look on kijiji and AR at horses and whatnot, and in doing so, we all come across some silly ads.

The ones where theres a "10 y/o mare x throbred", " fine legged 6 year old brown colt", "looking for cheap horse..must be really well trained..I'm experienced..haven't ridden in 20+years..", "free to good home: horse. can deliver for $500".... theres just too many funny ones i can think of to start listing...

Do any of us on the forum ever reply to these ads for a laugh, or to question them?

Not just horsey ads, maybe you've seen a funny car or dog ad.

I figure we can share some funny or different ads here.

Try to be respectable. Please do not call the writer of the ad down to the dirt (as they may be on the forum). If you happened to write an ad that gets posted, realize someone must have found it funny, and its not meant to be hurtful




Here are a few i found today:

I think those ads set Newfoundland back 30 years. But it's not just NFLD, have you been on Craigslist? It's human nature for some people to be dumb as bricks, and/or ignorant (whether intentionally or not).

I cringe when I see these ads because it looks bad on the person and the province.

I'm just curious about this one that I found earlier today. It says that the recommended time to walk a dog is 45 minutes. However, my dog's trainer has been saying to walk him for around two hours a day. I don't think there's a specific amount of time to walk a dog - it's dependent on the breed. A small/stocky breed probably wouldn't need to be walked as long as a high-energy dog like mine.

Depends on the dog, of course it does. A high energy dog (like a Husky, or Setter, or Lab) will need more exercise than a low energy dog (like a Shih Zsu, or Pomeranian).

My shepherd could walk for hours. Well, actually she'd run for the first hour, and then walk.

I know the GSD breeder he's in the Schutzhund club.
I would have worded it differently, like proven parents (titles being the SCH 2 etc) instead of high quality, just sounds odd haha.

I don't know much though, responding to a miniature horse ad a couple weeks ago I got told off because the only way you can have a purebred horse is if you breed the mother to the son.. Because registries only exists for fun.

^ That's how you get a foal that has a foot coming out of it's head.

I read an apartment wanted ad the other day that read just like a personal ad -included a photo and everything.

[oxmaybesoxo]

[hjcayus]

Actually there are some who do that, I think in the TB circle but I could be wrong. Supposed to preserve the bloodlines or something.

I read this awhile back, one of the few times I have read something and it actually made me laugh out loud!

New animal sport? Showing guppies?
Do they go through tunnels and hoops?
Or is it more of polishing their fins, puffing their tails and sparkling their gills?
