ellz Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 My day started at 5.30am, being abused by somebody who couldn't even wait a couple of seconds for me to wake up, let alone answer coherently. Then there was the guy who lives locally who took offence to me asking for his phone number and for trying to get him to commit to an appointment time because I didn't want to just give out my address for security reasons. He wanted me to just give him my address and he might "drop in later". Oh and then there are the true bogans who have read the advertisement which CLEARLY states M puppies, yet they only want a female. The children whose mummies have asked them to ring about the cute puppies. The people who ask if they are "real Staffies" and then when they ask the price say "how can they cost so much, they're ONLY Staffies!!" BUT the icing on the cake award goes to the woman who wanted a brindle male puppy but ONLY if he has 4 white feet, a white chest, a big white blaze on his face and wait for it.....a white tip on his tail. Yeah sure love, hang on and I'll go and dip him into the white paint for you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Nup, that's good old Tassie for you. This is where people ask if you're staying overnight if you happen to be driving to a dog show that is only 2 hours away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldust Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Second worst part of being a breeder, dealing with the buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 With Labs, I find that most of my callers are great . . . many have had the breed for decades or even generations, expect to wait, understand the each litter may not have the sex/colour mix that is best for them, realise that pups require time and some discipline and may be destructive, etc. Lots of calls for the second dog to keep the first company. I would have stopped breeding long ago if I didn't find it rewarding to provide family members to people I know will give care and love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yup, the old wading through the potential and the wanna be puppy buyers, it really does do your head in at times......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we were ALL as perfect as you....it would be such a wonderful world to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
