I got an email from the breeder and this is what she stated.

Didn't even open the photo, because you are right we accidentally gave you
Mandy and the lady who was supposed to get Mandy and picked puppy up
yesterday before I read your email, just phoned me telling me she has a boy
and of course, she paid for a girl $700 and she wants a girl.

I know you are attached to the puppy, but you paid for a boy $500, if you
wish to keep the girl puppy I will have to have you send me the additional
$200, or you may choose to bring your puppy back and get the boy.

I am sorry for all of this confusion.
Let me know your decision.

SO I RESPONDED WITH THIS.

This is not at all possible because we have spent a week with the pup
to try to addapt to her needs, and we feel as if it is not at all our
fault because we did not realize he was a she untill a week later. If
we had found out about this a day or 2 after before getting attached
then it would not be a problem of returning her but there is no way we
can return her now. I feel the 200 should be ignored because it is
entirely not our fault. we have grown attached to the puppy and treat
her like our own child we could only afford 500 or else we would have
paid 700 for a girl at the time. We were just as shocked when we found
out our toby was a girl, but there is not much we can do now except
hope that you will understand that the situation is entirely out of
our control. we cannot pay you the extra 200 and you can refuse to
send us the akc papers if you wish, but we wish you find it in your
hearts to do so because it was entirely not our fault and the matter
is out of our hands.

What do you guys think here on yorkie talk, am I right or am I wrong? I feel that what I'm doing is right and the mistake was on the breeders side and not mine.
