I for one think this is bad breeding practices...I'm a Breeder and I know which male is the sire to my puppies...I have 2 males and 3 females, I just don't see how in the world a breeder could get things such as this messed up...Not a good breeder in my OPO...

There's where a Breeder should "KNOW" when to separate males and females due to heat cycles and keep their records straight...And keep litters separate too...

I've never had 2 litters at one time though but I would not think it would be hard to know which Damn had what puppies if you kept your records straight...and kept the damns and litters separate in playpens...This is sad this is happening in our Yorkshire Terrier Breed...

If I was you and this was done to me, I would ask for any fees that I had incurred while I was searching and trying to figure this all out after all it is her fault you are in this situation. If this ever happen to me as a Breeder I would be more then willing to help one of my adopted parents out in any way I could and yes refund their expenses during their search. I wish you the best in your search & please keep us updated on your findings.
