Well it certainly doesn't seem to make any sense, but ultimately, it's the breeder's decision, regardless of the reason. Maybe she decided for some reason that she didn't think you would be a good match and thought that telling you the puppy was spoken for was a nicer way of putting it. (I have done that before.)
This is a long shot, but is it possible that she knew you were a member of YT and that had something to do with her decision? (It could and does happen.) |
