Default Right thing? I think so!

I had a "buyer" from one of my previous litters almost a year and a 1/2 ago calls me last night for a puppy.
I say "buyer" because she came and looked at my puppies and brought her two small children with her. She didn't get the chance to buy one from me. I don't discriminate, but let's just say I am not fond of tiny children around my tinies now because of this incident.
Background: Anyway I was going over the contract with her, since she had decided on a little girl and her daughter reaches over and picks up a baby ((not the one she wanted to purchase)) . She looked around 3 years old. Well before I could open my mouth she drops the baby. I say OMGosh and the lady seemed a little miffed. This is what she said "oh she didn't hurt "it", it's just a dog. It will be fine. " Ok well I looked at this lady and told her "you know I don't think this is going to be a good fit, and put my paperwork aside! She just stared at me, grabbed her daughters and left.
When she called, she stated that she was interested in purchasing a pup and hopefully we can forget about the incident. She said and I quote " I just had a rough day". Well I didn't want to lie since I do have babies that will be ready in December...so I said " I'm sorry I don't have any babies available-try the classifieds" She said thanks and hung up. I will have babies ready the end of the December, but I DO NOT want this lady to own one of them and WILL NOT give her one. I believe this is the right thing to do. Any comments on how I could tactfully fend her off if she sees my ad where I always advertise? I usually make friends with the people I meet so this is a bit new to me, but I also feel like a mom to my babies while I have them! I know she is always searching because she told me she hasn't seen an ad for me in "so long"
