PSA, to the prospective buyer who contacted me through AKC Marketplace:
If your budget was $800, you could have simply said so from the start. Instead, you chose to spend your time criticizing me in a text, my breeding program, and my prices after we had already spoken.
Here’s a helpful tip for the future: if a breeder isn’t within your budget, move on. Most adults manage to do that without the condescending comments and self-righteous attitude.
You are now permanently blocked. I sincerely hope you find exactly what you’re looking for.
And one more thing—who sends a bu****it introduction like that and expects to be taken seriously?
Interested In: Chihuahua Puppies (TS698165)
Greetings, Ben. My wife and I are currently seeking an outstanding Chihuahua puppy to welcome into our warm and loving family circle and into its first / next and final "forever" home as a treasured, adored, and yes, spoiled and respected pet and companion. Our "ideal" puppy will be on the smaller side of the AKC Standard, bred specifically for health and temperament). We noted this morning your AKC Marketplace listing for a featured, utterly adorable and precious white puppy with some interesting facial markings, and should very much like to pursue the possibility of welcoming him / her home to Estero in Florida. Thus this note to you. As to our backgrounds, my wife and I have extensive, multi-decades experience and active involvement with small breed dogs (Toy Poodles, Italian Greyhounds, Miniature Pinshers, etc.) both as owners and as consultants. Further, before moving from Pittsburgh to SW Florida several years ago, we were a Western Pennsylvania Humane Society and Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh go-to rescue and rehabilitation team for toy breeds. If, from our our description of the "ideal" Chihuahua and our experiential backgrounds as defined above, you feel that we might be exemplary prospective "parents" for the charming puppy as defined above, please do contact us via phone or text messaging. Our interest is serious, our message sincere. NOTE:Please, if possible, avoid using the Marketplace channel for communication as it has proven to be unreliable. Many thanks for your consideration. All the best, The C***** Bunny and John ESTERO, FL 33928
