When selling a litter of puppies and a potential buyer who is interested in buying a puppy from you gets all stroppy on the phone when you ask a few questions on how they would look after your puppy. How would you handle the situation by keeping your cool?

If they cant answer your questions, they don't get the puppy..simples.

Sorry I put in wrong section. I have put my question in breeding now.

Their reply was, I have already own a dog so I know how to look after them so I don't want to be questioned by you. Just because she was rude it doesn't mean we have to be rude back.

No, but if her temper is on a such a short fuse over a couple of simple, civil questions do you trust her with your pup? I think I would have just put the phone down. Sorry.

That's true. Thank you.

It would, for me, depend on HOW this person reacts - how angry they get over the phone.   And to defuse a situation, if you want to!! (there will always be other perhaps better owners for your precious puppies) I'd suggest you invite them to come visit so you can discuss all of this face to face.   You do have to protect your reputation though, so try not to let this get into a slanging match I'd suggest.   In other words, I'd not get into all that over the phone!

"Their reply was, I have already own a dog so I know how to look after them so I don't want to be questioned by you. Just because she was rude it doesn't mean we have to be rude back. "   Repeated (above) from your other question about this situation.   And again be aware, this person could start spreading the word about you, if he/she is so-minded.   So try to defuse as suggested above.

Thank you.
