How to Sell Great Danes
- 1). Write a description of your Great Dane, including details about its personality and appearance. Make sure to include the positive attributes and any challenges or negative aspects of your dog. You want to be honest about any problems that your dog has. Most people realize that every dog has its quirks and they will want to know your dog's issues before they buy.
- 2). Take pictures of your dog. Buyers will want to know what they are getting and many buyers will have a preference on the appearance of their dog. Having pictures will help you avoid any misunderstandings about the dog's appearance. Include multiple different angles.
- 3). Advertise your dog online. Many buyers, even local buyers, will be looking online for pure-bred dogs. Do an online search for Great Dane clubs and magazines, such as the Great Dane Gazette. They will usually have a section of their website on which they accept advertising of dogs for sale. It generally will reach a large audience that is interested in Great Danes.
- 4). Post your dog on Craigslist or another reputable local classified advertising website. Many regional newspapers will provide a classifieds section online and in their print paper advertising dogs for sale.
- 5). Post advertisements at dog shows. Check local newspapers or online for local dog meetings and shows. You can post fliers at these locations to catch the eye of dog lovers. Watch for dog conformation and agility competitions in particular, as this is where many people meet that are active in the dog world, so you will reach a large audience.
- 6). Screen prospective buyers. You want your dog to go to the best home. Buyers should have an understanding about what owning a Great Dane requires. Giant breed dogs require a special home and you want your buyers to know what they are getting when they buy a Great Dane.
