That must have been a horrible ordeal for you both...I don't know anything on breeding, but I do believe your instinct are correct....I hope there's something you can do, at the very least get a refund for His theft of (lack of )services.....I know someone who's cat was at a vet & they went to pick it up but didn't want to pay, so the vet refused to return the cat til paid, she called the police & they made the vet return the cat...he was told he could not hold a pet as ransom & he had to take her to court for non payment of services...I hope you can file a complaint somewhere on him....
