I just needed to vent for a minute. As most of you know, I have been waiting on a new puppy to replace my Maggie that died within a few days of getting her (RIP
.) Well, the lady I bought her from ( which sells them with for her friend, the breeder) finally called me back today. She had told me 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago the breeder had a female out of a different litter that hopefully I would be interested in. She thought she was @ 4weeks at that time. Well, I have been trying to call her and leaving messages since Saturday with no response. She finally called this a.m. The deal is, according to her which I tend to believe, is that the breeder doesn't want to give me the puppy because she only had two in the litter and she wants to sell them both
. Lynn, the seller, told her that she needed to let me have first dibs on it since they owe me one. I have sent a letter from the vet and Lynn has called the vet and seems to be on my side, but the breeder is being very hesitant. Lynn said she even offerred to buy the puppy from her friend for me but her friend told her that wouldn't be right, but Lynn told her it isn't right not to let me have the puppy either. She told me she would call the breeder back today and see what's going on because now she tells me the breeder says she is just 4 wks. now. She said if the puppy is eating on it's own, she is going to do whatever she has to do to get it and keep it herself till it's old enough to go to assure I get to see if I want it. I'll feel really bad if she has to give the breeder any money for her, but I supppose that is between them. Am I wrong in thinking that? I mean, I paid good money for a puppy, plus a lot of money in vet bills and they owe me a puppy. It shouldn't be my fault the breeder doesn't own up to her end of the deal should it? Someone owes me a puppy and they should have to work it out between themselves, after all they are business partners, right?
