Thank you for your support and advice. I know they owe me a puppy, I just hope the one that sold her to me doesn't have to actually pay the breeder for the puppy, but I guess that's her deal since she's business partners with her. I was talking with my brother at lunch and he was suggesting throwing around the word lawyer, but I was thinking this a.m., perhaps if I mentioned calling the AKC on her that might make her decide to go ahead and let me have first crack at the puppy. Yes, I do get to see the puppy and have the option to wait for another. Of course, I know I shouldn't just take the pup if I'm not satisfied with it, but from everything I've been told, I don't see why I wouldn't be - besides, they're all hard to turn down!

And yes, this one is from a different mother and I'm not sure about the father. Anyway, your advice and support is really, really appreciated.

I "hope" to hear more from Lynne, the seller, today. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
