She has not said an unkind word about this breeder, simply that she doesnt want a pup from such close breeding. I think that is extremely responsible of her. I am not trying to take sides, but I can tell you I researched pedigrees on my second Yorkie, but I didnt have a clue on my first. I thank my lucky stars that I just got lucky on the first go around. Besides Yorkies are sooo popular that I would think that it wouldnt be a problem placing pups that are bred to standard.
No, I wasn't referring to this situation and completely beleive not only should you get your money back also should tell her that she needs to imform people (buyers) of this prior to placing a deposit. I have bones to pick with people that just jump at the site of a picture.
I also purshased my first yorkie blindly. I HAD NO CLUE. All I knew was I wanted her BUT after doing what I should've done the first time, I made my second purchase with a careful, choosey, researched, almost cocky attitude with what I expected from my breeder before, during, and after the purchase. I am sorry if I came off like an attack dog. =) Please remember these are typed words and cannot portray feeling accuratley. I think you are doing more than most with this first purshase and I applaud you for that.
I am sure you can understand the frustration of the buying process from a breeding perspective. When you qo through all the right steps to "qualify" a buyer and feel comfortable placing with them, they put the money down, and either have buyers guilt OR find a better deal on a much LOWER quality dog, and want their money back is the issues I have with deposit refunds. I am not nor ever will be one of those breeders who will place a dog in ANY home with the cash. I know many do but when I take the time to go through my process, I expect to place a pup in a forever home. But if someone falls on hard times or feels like I have withheld information (which this breeder did, good or bad) I WILL offer a refund. I have never had a litter but will sometime soon. I have very established veiws and a "process" in place. You get my drift or did I just confuse the beeejee bee's out of you? =)
Good luck with your other breeder and keep us updated. =)
