Hi there,im new to this site but just need some advice about this buyer who as put a deposit down on one of my shih tzu girls, ive vetted her and she seemed fine, i answerd all her questions reply to all her phone calls, emails, text messages even said it was fine for her to come and vist again this weekend even though i know she will stay for yet another hour!! i just thought she was very excited! the shih tzu she will be buying from will be DLR i also have 2 other bitches which are kc reg. the women replied to my ad via the DLR website. Yesterday she sent me a email saying that she has noticed a ad i have posted about my latest litter which are kc and wants to know why im selling them for more! and what the difference between them and in her words "OUR" pups, is it me or is this a personal question? what would you say to her?

i would be honest with her and tell her its because DLR papers are worthless.

Id say you have the right to set your prices you feel are right for your dogs and that if shes not happy with what shes paying she could go else where...sorry maybe im to blunt...

I'm not sure why you think thats a personal question... I think its perfectly reasonable to ask why two litters are priced differently - she could be worried that something is wrong with the litter she is having a pup from.

Can I ask what DLR is? I've googled but cant find anything.

Dog lovers Registration you can register anything on here, it fools a lot of the gp into thinking its some sort of reputable registry.

I think that's a reasonable question. Not unlike a buyer asking a reputable breeder why the show quality pups cost more than the ones intended for pet homes, really.

I would go ahead and answer the buyer, but I'd also have some questions for the buyer. From what you've described, you have a highly motivated buyer who's suddenly having second thoughts. Try to get to the bottom of those second thoughts so you feel secure that the buyer will provide the right level of commitment to the pups.

thanks for your advice so far! i have explained already about the difference between them! but maybe she does think that there might be something wrong with the pups there isnt by the way!!

i thought that also jessiesgirl, it worried me too! she does sound highly strung!! so to speak, she txt me the other day out of the blue to tell me that she has just spent £450 on the pup? have you had any buyers like this?

I would have to agree with shamus on this! tell er the DLR certificate is a waste of ink!
