When I bought Lola I paid 2/3 up front and the cost of the shipping. After she arrived I sent the remaining 1/3. I think when these puppies cost so much neither party should take all risk. We talked many many times on the phone, e-mailed and I had a schedule from the airlines(and a call from her that morning).
I think something could still be worked out if the two of you wanted to. You would have had to have the puppy vet checked no matter what. You are out your time and she is out her time, $200 and a plane ticket(which aren't cheap). I have no idea why she still wouldn't want the puppy after all that trouble. No, I wouldn't send a puppy with ONLY a $200 deposit but something could have been worked out IMHO. |
