In this case I would be up front..tell her this puppy would not be a good pet for small children and you want to wait until you have a bigger one to consider..(you will never have a bigger one!!!but she will not know) Of course, it is possible she might get someone else to buy it for her..in that case I would check the people who call very carefully...

I had a woman come with her 18 yr old daughter to see a puppy..seemed so normal..but the 18 yr old went into my puppy room without me seeing her..comes out holding a wee male and says she wants that one..I told her he was not for sale. Daughter starts throwing a fit...demanded I sell it..so I said...$3000 thinking I was home safe (this was 15yrs ago) Mother says NO..daughter starts yelling, threathening her mother..I had to physically take the puppy from her...daughter is crying and acting unbalanced!

Mother asked me to hold the puppy for a few days so she could get the money...I told them I would think it over...finally got them out and locked the door, made my husband answer the phone for days..NO caller ID then...I have dealt with all the nuts...
