B.S Buyers - Page 3

4pack, very true. Overnight mail is an option and if they balk at the $15.00 or so to send a check I wouldn't trust them to take care of an animal of mine anyway.

well iv been on both ends of the bs iv had buyers say dp in mail or ill be right over to pick it up & alot of breeders say o that dog is sold but i have others that are more money or they put a price on a dog that sounds like what you are looking for when you talk to them o that dogs not what you want this 1 is i just talked to a breeder had a great dog at fair price she took all my shipping info wanted a dp by pay pal i told her to send address so i could send money order or cetf. check all ready for my new dog she writes back dog sold some bs stands for being -smart i write some breeder when i get the price on the dog i cant aford to write them back lol lets stop all the bs & give good dogs & puppys at a fair price

Another sugggestion for sellers to help stop what might seem to be nusance inquiries would be to at least list the state in which you live. Same on the web sites. Many of us prefer to pick up a puppy rather than having it shipped and contacting a breeder to find out where they live is a waste of everyone's time. There will always be sellers who hold out for more money and buyers who are not sincere. No way to prevent that 100%. If it's a local buyer, let's say less than a 3 hours drive, require that you get to meet them at least once before the puppy is ready to go. Tell them up front if they decide they want a puppy, they should be prepared to leave a deposit or send one ASAP as puppies are reserved on a first-come-first-served basis. Be sure you see some ID when they come and copy their full name, address and license number. It's insurance that they are not thinking of coming back later for a free puppy and you will know where they live so you can pay them a visit and see the way they live and how they plan to contain the dog. Tell them you must meet the entire family including all kids. You can probably tell if mom or dad is not a dog lover or if the kids are rowdy and disrespectful and deny them the sale. I assume most of you have general gules as to the ages of kids in the family when they sell a puppy. It's only common sense to not send a deposit to anyone you don't know or to anyone for whom you can't get 2,3 or more great references. I never can figure out why anoyone would agree to pay thousands of dollars for a dog or puppy they have never seen from a breeder they don't know.

Blitzen You hit the nail on the head.. Many people get excited over buying a pup and start "dealing" with someone over the internet very quickly but when time comes to send money, reality sets in and they realize that they are about to pay thousands for a GSD that they have never seen and from a breeder they do not even know that may not even have a physical address on the web-site.
