Im sooo stressed out! I live in California and I think I got scammed by a lady. We bought a male puppy a couple months ago and our yorkie was so nasty to him and wouldn't even come out of our bedroom when he was in the house. So to make her happy, we found a new home for him. Here's the story:

He is ACA registered, 8 months old and blue/gold. We sold him to her for $600 (very cheap). He was about 6-7 lbs.

She came to see him and she liked how he was calm and friendly. She said that she wanted a yorkie that was calm because the yorkie that she used to have was a barker. She had us give her a copy of his papers so that she could look into his pedigree or whatever. Then she added that she had been sued before and just wanted to be careful.

So she left and came back the next day w/ cash. She was also asking me & my fiance what we did for a living (which I thought was sorta rude). She wanted a receipt, and she didn't like how I put "As Is" , "no refunds". I had a bad feeling about her. She wanted something written on there that she could bring him back if the vet said that there was a problem. She EMAILS me that evening to say that I took advantage of her and that I wanted too much for the dog. She goes on saying that the dog had psychological issues and that she wanted her money back. I wrote her back right away. I was nice about it and said that I just wanted a letter from her vet stating his diagnosis and that I would want a second opinion from my vet (she could be present, I would've cared). She didn't respond for TWO days! She calls and says that if I don't return the dog she will take me to small claims court. I don't think I was asking for much here, just a letter from her vet. I have a feeling that she sues a lot of people and that she is just trying to scam us.

So my boyfriend noticed that the first email that she sent the day she bought him wanting to return him, was cc'd to an attorney. So I talked to my Mom who is a paralegal and had her talk to her attorney about all of this. She told me that this will probably be thrown out of court, but I am worried about myself and for the dog. I hope she isn't being mean to him or anything. I don't know what to do about all of this. I don't want to have to refund the money to her because Sassy is back to herself and soo happy that he's gone. But then I don't want the male dog in a bad situation either (which he was when I first got him).

Ooooh and it gets better...she's now saying that the yorkie is a silky and that silkys only sell for $50. What? The yorkie had papers! What is she talking about? Im worried, I don't wanna be sued, nor do I wanna go through all of this hassle. Im sooo confused. Any Advice would be so greatful. Thanks!
