My dogs are not for sale especially my winning boy !

Have you turned offers off?

Yes but still the person insisted and sent offer. So I have blocked now which I hate doing as I’m not like that. But why offer £100 for my top dog lol ?

I have this happening in two of my kennels. It's obnoxious and rude. If something isn't listed, don't offer. It's not being done by basic kennels, either.

Totally agree. Why would I sell my top wing dog anyway lol or am I upsetting someone lol

I have to admit I take the opposite view really,a bit like in real life when someone wants to buy one of my dogs. I actually think of it as a compliment to the dog. When someone wanted to buy my top dog,and I've only really had one big winner on here I gave him a virtual bone for being a good advert for the kenne! So think of it as flattery!

But then I'm bonkers because I get attached to pixels!

Caught myself buying back one of my dogs the other day when I saw her up for sale so she could retire at home!!

I wouldn't have a problem with someone offering but if you told them the dog was not for sale, then they should accept that graciously and not keep hounding you (sorry but I do have hounds after all...) And I totally get buying back your dog, I have done the same thing.

Right? If it's for sale, it's listed or reserved/arranged. I have it on my kennel slogans to not offer on dogs not listed. Reading is power, since we have to scroll down to find the message icon. There's a reason they're not listed lol.

I had this happen with a couple of my kennels, and they offered on my best dogs. I just refused politely and stated that my dogs were not for sale unless listed for sale.
As that kennel at the time was a kennel of a lot of top winning breeds, it was a sort of compliment --- but they did not get the dogs!!!!
