How Far Do You Bend Over????? - Page 1

OK...maybe it's just me! I'm venting here....I have verbally promised one of my pups to a lady; I have changed my schedule several times to facilitate delivery of this pup, which affected not just me, but also my co-workers, gave up my Mother's Day to acheive this delivery; and every single time, she's bailed on me at the last minute. She e-mailed me, saying she's very excited to get this pup, just give me your address, I'll come get her...well frankly, at this point, I don't want her coming to my house! All my red flags are up.....I gave her another option to get the pup, she's not answering me...at what point can I consider this deal OFF??? No money has changed hands, no contracts signed; & I have given her a 'respond by tomorrow or no deal' e-mail....is that good enough? My point is, if this gal is too flaky to even arrainge a delivery---how is she going to care for this pup? Comments appreciated..........jackie harris

Pay attention to your gut.  This will save you time, heartache, and money.  Quit now.  Don't give her an option if you don't want to.  Sell the pup to someone who is easier to get along with.

If she can't make time to meet you for a delivery she does not have time for a GSD. Recommend a nice cactus.

no way would she get that pup if it was me

No way, she has already made herself look like a poor choice, to own a dog. After screwing with your days like that, I would tell her to kick rocks before it gets more complicated with money changing hands or a contract signing, and God NO don't let her know where you live. What a nightmare that could turn out to be, if you tell her no deal and she tried getting back at you. Email a no deal letter and be done with her. I hate people with disreaguard of your time.

I agree with all the above posts.

I also think there may be a very good reason why this indidual doesn't want you to deliver the pup yourself. 

Definitely go with your instincts.

Sorrry , girl, no more bending over..mmmm   Stand firm, tell her deals off...and here is why....

A woman who cant make up her mind when and how to follow thru with an arrangement , will never follow the rules of raising a german shepherd correctly.

Our breed needs people with firm foundations and a head on their shoulder, not a burr in their foot.  ( nice way of putting it)

Hi

I think you have given the woman too many chances,find the puppy another home,you cant afford to mess about with these people,I made the mistake of selling a puppy to someone who convinced me they would love and cherish one of my puppies,1year later i bought it back as i heard it was being badly treated,it broke my heart when i got her home,that was 2  years ago,Now she is in the show ring and doing well,she is my mate and i love her to bits,as i do all my GSDs. So if you are not convinced  the puppy will be happy say NO.

Ditto to what everyone else said.  I've learned that if they are hard to deal with in the beginning, it doesn't get any better.
