Just wondering everyones opinion on dog deals. I have dealt dogs for 25 years & once I give my word that was it. I have had people offer me more money, but I would always stick to my word. I have sold dogs as far away as Alaska. I have had to keep dogs for a few weeks to a couple of months waiting to make arrangements to get the dogs to their new home. I never went back on my word. I was always taught a man is only as good as his word. If your word is no good either are you. Since I have gotten into the coyote hounds I have had 2 bad deals. The first one happened a couple of years ago. I bought 2 dogs from the mid-west over the phone. The only thing left to do was get out there to get them. A couple of phone calls later the guy said he changed his mind & the dogs were no longer for sale. The 2nd one happened just real recently. I talked to the guy & he told me all about the 2 dogs. He had one price for the pair or a different price for just one. I told him that I would try to get ahold of my buddy to see if we would take them both or not. I had 2 dogs loose & I told him I would call back. My hounds were on the road I had to go get them. He said okay he was just turning loose then.
I called him back after I caught my dogs. I wasn't able to get ahold of my buddy, but I definitely wanted the one that bayed the best. He said if I talked to my buddy & he wanted the other one he would still give me the better price for the pair. He said are you sure you want the biger one & I said yes I will put the money in the mail in the morning. He said if anyone else called he would tell them she was sold. To me this is a done deal.
He called me back about an hour & a half later & said I got bad news. I sold both the dogs. My wife called and there is a man in my driveway with the money I gotta catch this one & take them back home.
