Nothing againist you, as I think you have learned your lesson about buying a puppy from a puppy store, but what I don't understand is:
You can pick up a paper at any given time and locate a breeder (now, I'm not saying that everything in the paper is good) but you usually have many to pick from, you can spend the day and go from house to house and find a decent dog, why on earth would youor anyone else buy from a puppy store, you can't even see the mother, let alone both parents and the siblings..

I breed, and usually have 1 litter a year, I am lucky as many of my puppy parents are repeat buyers or recommend me to someone and I have always sold my puppies to the best of homes. I sell my girls for $1000 and my boys for $750. They are all healthy and are 100% AKC yorkies. Yet people will go into a puppy store and pay these crazy prices for a dog they have no information on.

If you cousin loves her dog and she never brought up the fact that both girls look completley different, I wouldn't worry about it.

I guess I have one question: Why did you decide after you brought the 1st puppy home that she wasn't for you? What was that trigger? And why didn't you just bring her back. $2200. for a dog with ear mites and kennel cough? Doesn't that seem a bit high and outrageous!
