NOWWW i have heard Everything!!!

I have a strict visitors policy it is posted all over my site, you just cant miss it
i get a inquiry today, this lady wants to come interact with the pups because she has allergies, ok they have had 2 shots ,i might consider that next week,,tried to advise her she wouldnt know for sure if she were allergic because of things here in our environment could trigger a reaction and it not be the pup, she would have to wait till she got the pup home, and truly wouldnt know for sure until the pup got its adult coat in ,(these are f1b;s so that isnt likly..they arent shedding a hair now but,,ya never know)

It gets better
,,,she wants to bring her DOMINANT shitzu mix too ..(i know i spelt it wrong ,that was intentional,,LOL),,quote" i wont get a dog unless i know____ will be ok with it",, Like that is gonna happen in 5minutes on arrival here meeting the pup,,NOT!!! Only thing that will do is tramatize my puppy!!!
do folks not realize it takes time when you have spoilt a dog to the point of being dominant..in the way this lady describes, to introduce a pup into that mix, would be a chore,,,it will take months!!! ,,OMG!!!!

on top of this she wants me to discount the pup even more!!
Im soooo very tired of this!!! I do and do and do for people, they always want more, unbelievable???

Ok im done venting,,LOL carry on

A hidden camera caught you after your conversation with her:

Sorry you have to deal with people like that............ack.

too funny

Nancy....smells like trouble. Just tell her sorry, all puppies are spoken for!

River Rat · 05-12-2007, 11:29 PM

Nancy, no way would I sell a puppy to someone like that. She's telegraphing loud and clear that she's trouble, both for you and for the dog. Poor puppy if it goes to live with her!

When we had a litter of Irish setters, many years ago, this was the kind of prospective owner who'd have me running in the opposite direction.

Yep, this person sounds like someone who would want to return the pup or have you pay for every little nail clipping it gets!
I'd tell her thanks, but no thanks.
That really gets to me when people ASK for discounts too! I often discount puppies...but only when I want to and when I feel it is the right thing to do. For heaven's sake...would she ask for a discount when she goes to the doctor? or to a movie? or when she buys a dress or a car????
sheesh.

Doodlesville · 05-13-2007, 02:44 AM

I know i was really shocked at her requests,i dont know why after almost 6yrs of this,,

after about 2minutes of the interview i KNEW,,LOL
i just let her keep talking, lordy lordy
then i kindly told her that i wasnt the breeder for her

**MaxandMe** · 05-13-2007, 09:29 AM

Nancy honey stick to your guns!!!!

just state the original price and do NOT REDUCE IT!!!
this woman is used to getting her way or maybe is a control freak?

you can though let her know that her dog could possibly tramautize the puppies and she wouldn't want to cause this ...or remind her of her own shih tzu being tramautized? you know what i mean and you can handle this woman well. so i am going to keep quiet

Congrats on these puppies and keep screening prospective doodle parents

Doodlesville · 05-13-2007, 10:14 AM

I knew 2 min, in the convo this lady was trouble,,i will keep the pups before i sell them to situations that could be dangerous to them,
This one just took the cake
