How Far Do You Bend Over????? - Page 2

Go with your gut girl!  

Hummm, this does sound fishy to me too. A few years ago I was a member of just one forum, my very first forum ever. I posted picture of everything and anything on that forum, dogs horses cats plants wildlife etc. Anyhow, a friend of mine wanted me to post pictures of their dog they had for sale on the internet and I did in this forums classified section ... noone really liked me on that forum to begin with, and I knew this. This one lady called and called wanting to buy this dog (Border Collie) I asked her what type living she has and all the 100 questions for a serious herding dog and a perfect match. She was clearly NOT who this dog would have been happy with. No farm, No cattle, and living in a Cottage. She for some reason couldn't understand the dog needed real farm work, regardless of who had the cash. I didn't have the dog, the owner did down the road, but she demanded for me to give my addy for her to come look at the dog maybe he'd really really like her. This kinda had me wondering, but the bottom line.. I knew she wasn't taking the dog and I told this to the owner. The owner trusted me to make the best decision for the dog, that is exactly what was gonna happen. Anyhooo, this lady kept calling and calling, I decided not to answer her calls or return her messeges. Well, wouldn't ya know she mentioned something on a recorded messege that cought my attention and only that forum did I ever post that info about my self. Soo, I called her back to set up an appointment for her to come to my farm, and I called the owner to bring the dog, yet knowing the dog doesn't leave with this lady. The deal was on.

The lady showed up 2 hours early.. I expected that.. but she brought a camara and 4 other people who also had camaras. The dog had worked my cattle for about 1 hour so far...so he wasn't fit to just stand and be petted when they showed up ... the dog wanted to keep working. These people did nothing for the 2 hours they were there but take pictures and video's of my property and the dog working the cattle... later they mentioned if the dog works horses ... so we sent the cattle to the north lot and unloaded all the horses from south barn and the free range in the south lot where the people were. Again they did nothing but take pictures and video of the dog. They left not even ever touching the dog, and said the dog was crazy and not worth the 100.00. Ya right. They later cut that Border Collie up on that forum, never showing a video or picture.

Later, I decided to join a bunch of different forums and wouldn't ya know ... one of those people posted his pictures and working video's saying that he was their Border Collie and how good he is and all the BS. That lady had NO interest in the 100.00 dog ... she just wanted to show up and take pictures and video for her own reasons.

Sooo, to be honest, if I was you.. I'd forget about that looser. Because that's exactly what these people are ... loosers.

BabyEagle, I'm sititng her shaking my head!! That's just...wow...words fail me!

There sure are some strange people out there!  

Ok- I sent the 'no deal' e-mail last night...now my little girl will go to the lady who bred my Kalie; and a better home she couldn't even hope for; lots of room to run, love, and other GSDs to frolic with. Thanks for the feed back; you validated what I was thinking to myself. So that's it! jackie harris

Bravo to you and the pup!
