I don't think she did anything wrong, unless I'm overlooking anything which I don't think I am. She gave the dog a second chance with children against her better judgement because you kept insisting. I would have been unmoveable about the subject and help pair purchaser with a nice matching puppy or give a referral if they decided not to buy from me. I think it's a bad move to try to damage a reputation or even threaten to because they were trying to look after the puppies best interest and that wasn't with you.
Buyers can be quite finicky, just because they post their side first doesn't mean that we have to judge and slam the breeder. |
WOW so now I was being pushy. She sent me the first e-mail telling me what had happened, I replied devastated of course, she then replied and offered to try and socialize her and I of course agreed she was the one that told me to get second opinions too. What bothered me was the way she treated me during the last conversation and the reason she gave my deposit back. If this had ended on better terms things would have been different. She yelled at me and returned my deposit because I supposedly went behind her back and called the breeder not because Candy wasn't getting socialized. I don't think 3 (one of which she was in heat, hormones on a roller coaster) visits will socialize a dog, it would take longer and a more stable situation. It also bothered me for her to say so many lies about everything. Red Flags well if they were really red flags why did she wait 1 and a half months to bring them up. She knew since long time ago about my husband, about the GS and that I had children. I mentioned that my husband did not know I was getting her yet since before I placed the deposit. If she had red flags she could have avoided all this pain by telling me and not making things up. breeders need to be honest and if something bothers them they have to bring them up not wait don't they??
