When I was getting Coco I sent a cashiers check from the post office so it was insured. I didn't send it priority but ahd $1200 got to OK from CA in 3 days and I always had a tracking number to tell the breeder where the check was exactly. I took all precautions not only to save my rear but to ensure the breeder that I really cared and wanted my little girl. She was comforted by that and trusted me more because of it. I believe that this won't be a good house for your baby boy. If she REALLLLY wanted him, she would have covered all avenues and would have been able to tell you where the check is exactly.
