him: Is the puppy still for sale?
me: Yes, he is still available.
him: What is your best price?
me: Excuse me?
him: how big will he be?
me: There's no way to guarantee but I'm thinking probably around 9 or 10 pounds.
him: Hmmm...o.k...I will give you half of what you are asking.
me: No, Tank is reasonably priced, Biewers usually sell for more than I'm asking.
him: But I will give you 1/2 of what you are asking o.k?
me: No. I'm sorry, I don't know you or anyhing about you and I certainly wouldn't agree to sell my puppy at 1/2 price just like that.

At this point he proceeds to tell me his name, where he lives who he lives with...etc...etc...

Then he says..

him: I have a female and she is in, what some people have said, is her heat season and she needs a husband.
me: :eek:
him: so I would buy this puppy and give him to my female as her husband and also let him be a playmate for my daughter.
me: :eek:
him: So I will give you 1/2 of your price, o.k?
me: I'm sorry but you can't have my puppy. I am pretty particular about where my puppies go and Tank will not be sold to the first person with a little money and he will not be sold as a 'husband'.
him: oh...well, o.k.

I mean...come on...did he think that was going to work? He probably doesn't even know what a Biewer is...it seemed like he was just looking for a male, of any kind, to toss in with his female. I can't believe people!

Needless to say...he isn't getting a puppy from me...even if he does have cash for half of what I'm asking! LOL!

Thank goodness little Tank has you to look out for him. This guy who called was an idiot. Sometimes I just don't know what people are thinking. I know you will find the perfect home for him. He's one lucky little guy!!
