When you ring me for the first time why not say

"I'm ringing about the litter you have advertised"

a bit like dodgy second hand car dealers, you might catch a dodgy breeder out this way. As opposed to saying I'm ringing about the Ford Sierra you have advertised.

If they say which litter / car , alarm bells should start ringing.

alarm bells should start ringing.

What the hell are you on about???

Dear Puppy Buyer, don't just ring around until you find an available litter right now. Do your homework, contact some breeders, be prepared for a grilling, don't ask 'have you got any puppies, how much?' Meet breeders and their dogs in their home before a litter is even born. Join a breed specific FB group, ask questions, take all advice on board. Get yourself on some breeders waiting lists, be prepared to wait and perhaps travel, not expect a puppy to be available on your doorstep. Look around training classes while you wait. Realise that a good breeder is priceless!

Welcome to the forum ignoredbymany

What Kenny is "on about" (and what isn't that clear on first read through of their post), is a suggestion to would be puppy buyers.

If you say "I'm ringing about the litter you have advertised"

And the breeder responds: "which litter"

I thought Kenny's post was a bit ambiguous  . A question mark (?) after 'which litter' would have helped.

I get it now !
