Bjelkier Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 So I am planning our first litter for later on in the year and we have been getting puppy enquireies for quite awhile now. I recently got a puppy enquiry that I am not 100% sure about, I don't know if I'm being a little too judgemental or suspecious. This person is after a male puppy from me and they already have their name down for a female from another breeder which is currently about 3 weeks old. Now this person says they are willing to desex the pup but I wonder. I am also worried about two young dogs around the same age in a house of four children. The dogs apparently have to toilet inside as well. Would you be comfortable selling one of your pups to live in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 No. Too close in age for training and development purposes and a definite risk of BYBing if they are not registered breeders. And the toileting inside bit is very odd, particularly for an active medium sized dog. How much exercise are these dogs going to get? You could tell him that male companion dogs will be sold with desexed or with a vasectomy. That should weed out their intentions pretty quickly.

You have pretty much voiced all my concerns and opinions SSM. I was told the dog would get as much exercise as needed but I wasn't too sure about that answer, seems a bit to general to me.

SwaY Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I would say No as well. Did they tell you about the other puppy or did the breeder? Maybe they thought best to put there name down on a few litters so they could secure a pup ( I don't like that idea my self ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Another no from me. If that email were sent to me would be saying that my line of dogs is unsuited to those conditions- which cant come back at me if another breeder says yes to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordogs Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 No for me also, 4 kids & 2 dogs inside, toileting inside??? Total Chaos!!! Do they not have a yard / garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input guys. Helps me a lot to know other people are thinking the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cass_06 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It would be no from me too. Tell them puppy will be desexed prior to leaving your home. That will put them off as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This same person contacted me via email, I asked for her phone number to give her a call about a puppy, I also asked who she was getting the bitch from, she refused to give me details of either! Very strange indeed. Why wouldn't she give me her phone number.....because I will not guarantee her a puppy! But lady I want to talk to you about a possible puppy. Guarantee me a puppy and we will talk! Bye Bye, try someone else lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 With those responses, my gut is saying 'dealer', and my bet is the many pups they source will be on thier way to a pet shop in Singapore damn quick. Could be utterly wrong, but it sounds too suss either way. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
