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.

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!!!!

Did you know?
The two largest American dog shows after Westminster are the National Dog Show (which is televised on Thanksgiving Day by NBC, usually after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade) and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
