I agree with PrestigeousYT this should have been handled in private.
Dixie is a beautiful girl with a nice ped and from what I saw of the dogs Pam has
or had ...they were all very nice looking dogs.

I know you are disappointed not to have a dog to show
but
Buying a dog before the age of 8 months or older is a really big gamble.
That is why so many show breeders have had to place dogs because they fell apart.
Being Show hopeful or Show Potential is just that.
Meaning the dog may have a possibility of becoming a show dog but it's not guaranteed.

If every breeder had a crystal ball and knew at 8-12 weeks the pup would be a show dog
they would keep the dog.

Also buying a pup with 3 lb sire and 5 lb dam..
being a breeder you know the Pups are more then likely going to
fall somewhere in between those weights...That why breeder don't guarantee weights.
I have seen the smallest pup out of a litter grow up to be the largest.

And IMO
Faulting a breeder for an OOPS and dragging her name through the mud is just WRONG.
Because if that was the case there are many on here that has had some TYPE/Kind of an OOPS at some point in breeding.

Anyways.. It a shame Pam can't buy her back, and I hope she finds a great forever home.

Also good luck to you.. Maybe next time you can find an older pup that more meet your expectations.
