Anyone else been asked this very strange question about their puppy?

I was out in town with my puppy the other day (4 month old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever). I get stopped a lot by people wanting to say hello, ask what breed he is, generally say hello to the cute puppy etc. so when this older woman said “Oh what a lovely dog.” and then started chatting to me I didn’t think anything of it.

After the usual “how old is he?” “what breed is he?” type questions she comes out with this gem of a question… “Is your dog for sale?”

Seriously? What sort of question is that? Why would anyone think that was an appropriate question to ask the owner of a young puppy?

Had anyone else ever been asked that about their puppy or did I just encounter the one weird woman in the world that thinks it’s appropriate, while out in public to ask a complete stranger if they want to sell their puppy?
