I have had this happen! The guy offered me 500 dollars for luigi to be his new "brood bitch" even after ipointed out that my dog is a neutered BOY shelter mutt!

[jeepgrandch]

He actually argued with me that HE had obviously nursed a litter! He does have a TINY pee pee that looks like a tiny belly button

[AcecePesFeacy]

yea you handled it better than me, like alex said, my dogs' collars cost more than that

[lizadax]

That's hilarious. Sixty dollars for a dog you've put in hundreds maybe even thousands into worth of training and love, and those little buggers offered you a bag of dog food for him?.... I don't know, I probably would have gotten beaten up...I would have just burst out laughing uncontrollably. Like this:

Geez.

Hmm...I wonder what the offer would have been for my girl? A box of?

[doogiehoussi]

I would have told them that I just turned down a $600 offer.

[NerbuitW]

Fine. You rive a hard bargain. $75, but that is IT!!!

[QysnZWB4]

I got him for free so it would all be profit really

[wmtravelservice]

People are morons!

When Pongo my little terrier mutt was a puppy we had him at the flea market with us. I had these people follow us all over the flea market offering money for him. Started with $150, then 200, then 250, all the way up to $500. Wife wanted him and husband thought he could get him if he offered enough money! I didn't pay a penny for him and had to begged/cry/pout to talk my mother into keeping him. I was only 14 then. Now 15 yrs later, he was worth that fit I pitched and the hours I sat outside refusing to come in until she caved! And I guarantee those people wouldn't have kept him past his first birthday. He might be a cute fluff ball, but he is all terrier!

[QysnZWB4]

Fifteen years ago, geez he's hangin in there isn''t he? Is that the little rat catcher?

[wmtravelservice]

Yep! He is best little mutt I've ever had. He is hell on rats! He has been a good dog. Hope to have him a while longer.

[Gakeincidoniac]

No one is bidding except one person? I'll go $85!

[anconueys]

$85.01!

You really did handle it well. I think it's good when bulldog owner's can keep their cool with rude, immature comments such as strangers wanting your dog or wanting to breed it. If we all get out of hand about something like this, it does make "pit bull" owner's look like asses. Just like one aggressive acting "pit bull" to a stranger that doesn't know the breed can scare them away.

All though I believe this, I have an extremely hard time with ignorant assholes

[ftqwhbvxlcfop]

WOW i would have went nuts....people are just ridiculous!! oh yea sure you can have my dog for $60 what idiots!!

NOT TO JACK YOUR THREAD BUT: i have had one person ask me to buy Dexter and i said absolutely not he offered $200 and i laughed and told him i wouldnt sell him for $1000...the mans next question was real cocky "how many fight has he won then?" i gave him a piece of mind and we argued for a minute then i told him "dog fighting is for pussies" and the rest is history......had i not been with my wife i would have been in jail! (that tells you where the conversation went)

[cabonuserollyo]

I love Lonesome Dove!!!

[QysnZWB4]

I was wondering if anybody was going to catch that.

[cabonuserollyo]

I was wondering if anybody was going to catch that.

I know, I read the whole series and saw the movie. I am a sucker for Westerns.

[JackieC]

My RESPONCE:
"$60 bucks? Well youre in luck boys! That happens to be the exact price of 1 bag of my dogs "droppings"..Will that be paper or plastic?"

[QysnZWB4]

I went to town today to look at a dog house that was advertised at a garage sale along with some teacher stuff for my wife. I decided to throw B.A. in the pickup and bring him with me. I wound up buying the dog house and a bunch of other crap and was loading it up when a couple guys walked up to the pickup. I had B.A. waiting in the back since I didn't feel like buying everything that he felt needed marking. A couple guys about twenty years old or so came up and started petting him and talking dogs. They asked if he was pure and I said there's no papers on him but both parents were bulldogs. They said he must be an "Old English Red" and they wanted to buy him. I politely told them that the dog wasn't for sale but thanks anyway. He got kinda lound and said "Look, me and my buddy got sixty bucks and we want to buy that dog!" Like he was trying to scare me into selling. I just told him again that he wasn't for sale and if he was I've put way to much time and effort into him for sixty dollars to even come close. I also as politely as possible explained that when you are trying to negotiate a price or buy a dog raising your voice to somebody is a good way to start a fight and if we'd have been in a less public place it sure could have. As Woodrow Call said, " I hate rudeness in a man. Won't tolerate it."

I ain't all that much older or wiser that these dudes but hopefully something I said sank in. It was a pretty minor deal, it just rubbed me the wrong way.

[Tveabuti]

60 bucks!! LOL You handled it better than I would have for sure lol. I would have told them shit bags to hit the road before they HIT the road!!

[RlUbQU3R]

I would find that insulting, for someone to pull out cash and offer to buy my dog. Id be like WTF!!! ???? @#$&&
