thank you all so much for your replies. i had advised her to wait till i got more information about the breeders
AND ACA. from what i understand ACA is reputable but not quite as well recognized as AKC.
nevertheless, she purchased a puppy. she's seen her baby's picture on the web only.
i told her i believe there's still time to stop payment on the credit card. no contract was signed. the owner of the site said he's sending the contract w/the puppy.
i've got a
really bad feeling about this.
if you have any more advice i can pass along it would be greatly appreciated.
...to be continued.
