Unless you have bred a litter of puppies you have know idea about the number of phone calls- letters and e-mails- people just stopping by your front door that you will get concerning your puppies. WE have to try and determine which is a real/true inquiry , someone playing games or the newbie who wants to pick your brain.
We try to take time and answer your questions, give you all the information
that you want about a certain puppy or breeding. Some times this will go on over months.
You would be suprised at the number of people who will tell you" I want that puppy" "I will send you a deposit today". A week goes by and we can't reach you and there is no check. We have no idea what is going on- we try some more to reach you and then place you pupy with someone else.
You will finally get back and state " where is my puppy" and you are upset.
When you contact a breeder- be upfront. If you are just shopping around looking and wanting information tell the person I am not interested in purchasing at this time. Please do not use the pretense that you want to buy as a way to obtain information. Most of us love to talk dog and will talk with you regardless if you want to buy a dog from us or not. Look at all of us-here we are- on this forum- talking and sharing thoughts- ideas and dreams for the future.
If you state that you are interested in that breeders stock be genuine. If you state you are sending a deposit do it- or contact the breeder back and tell them you have changed your mind. We will not bite your head off- we understand that things happen.
When you leave us hanging- it will backfire on you. I talk to my freinds and will warn them about you. You have just hurt your chances with a number of breeders who may have just that puppy that you want. Your dealings with me may have a effect on if they want to place trust and confidence in you as a adoptive family. |
Wow! That was excellent, and informative!
