Bulldust Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I dont know why i find it so insulting! I enquired about a bitch that is for sale, which does not have any information of her pedigree on the ad or their website, but states she can be a breeding bitch, so i emailed and asked her lines, they told me, and its definitely NOT what i want, so i thanked them for their quick communication and said a polite 'no thank you' Got a short email back calling me 'just another time waster' :D Nice i thought!!!!!! If you dont have any info of the dog you're selling why complain when people ask about the lines?? Would anyone else here call someone a time waster just for asking the dogs lines if you dont have them up on a website anywhere?? I certainly wouldnt!

becks Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I wouldn't call you a time waster from just an initial enquiry to find out exactly what was being offered for sale. As you say, if they don't have the basic info available then you have to ask - or are they just hoping to off load her to anyone who wants to have a go at breeding and not care about lines, health tests etc??

Bulldust Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Becks, i think they must just think a uterus is a uterus? I dont know but i thought it was so damn rude (they are breeders of another breed and knew i am a breeder too, so you would think they would understand i deal with real time wasters all the time?!!)

As someone who has mini schnauzers, I am well used to the attitudes of 'breeders whose main interest is with other breed/s' and use my breed as a means to fund their main breed. So a uterus is a uterus so long as they produce enough pups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldust Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Ahhhh that makes sense... I 'nicely as i could' told them i deal with time wasters all the time and if they dont want people enquiring for her lines, then put it on their ad, because not everyone just buys any old bitch because it can be bred with! (then i blocked them... :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 lol that's one way to get the message across! Sounds like the chap I had wanting to use one of my boys but he repeatedly kept 'forgetting' to send me the pedigree and health clearances. In the end I told him there was no point in continuing the discussion until the info I requested was sent. I was then told I had wasted his time, as obviously my dog 'wasn't up to the job' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozwildflower Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm pretty sure I'd been insulted also. I always show the pedigree (or the link to) in any ad and still spend hours answering questions. Those people are just making work for themselves - or have something to hide. I had one guy who said he wanted a pet but then wanted pick of the litter - when I said (very nicely) that I couldnt' do that he got really nasty. Then, a few weeks later 'phoned my hubby and tried to say that I had promised pick of the litter and he expected to come on out and choose his pup. Scary people out there.

Bulldust Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well said! Im over it now, it was just a shock to open their email and have them call me that, not what i expected! Good luck to them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I phoned up about something advertised for sale here, asked what I t hought was a perfectly reasonable first question, and got roundly abused. Perhaps it's the same person? Surely there couldn't be that many rude loonies out there...... or could there be? :D Edited March 27, 2010 by Jed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
