Please note that the Shooting Times forum is intended as a site for sharing information and experiences about shooting and related issues. Commercial posts within the forum offering gundogs for sale will be removed.
The magazine offers an excellent and widely read weekly Dogs For Sale column in its classified section which established breeders of gundogs find invaluable when selling puppies. You can contact the Shooting Times Classified Department on 020 3148 2782

It's a shame you have removed the ads - I only just discovered them 2 days ago whilst looking for somewhere to find a good working lab pup. Suppose I'll have to get off my bum and walk to the newsagent now for a weekly thumb through the magazine to see the 2 or 3 ads that may or may not have been placed.
Can't you consider addding the magazine classifieds to the website?

We are in the process of redeveloping our website at the moment. The contents and look of the site are due to be revamped in the next few weeks. At the same time, I believe there will be an enhanced facility for proper classified ads, rather than forum posts, to appear on the site.
Separately, I'd suggest the magazine is actually a good place to view classified gundogs for sale ads (I would say that, I'm the deputy editor!). Your two or three ads a week, is a bit off the mark I'm afraid. Just glancing through this week's issue, there are 30 separate ads for puppies around the country and a number of Dogs at Stud ads. Don't forget we're a weekly — many of the dogs you may see advertised in a monthly will be gone by the time you read the ad (likewise on the forum, where you may be seeing posts put up several weeks/months ago).
I don't think your local newsagent will be terribly pleased if you flick through the magazine on a try before you buy basis, though
