I think with what everyone is saying, is getting you more and more angry. Right now just sit back and wait for the DNA results. Maybe she is a purebred, she is really cute. Maybe she breeds Chorkies and threw one in with the Yorkie litter, who knows, but just be easy on yourself for now.
There may be a way to keep the pup and get your money back. Truth is, a breeder will take their puppy back, but they really don't want too. It just means they now have to try and sell the puppy again. And it's a disappointment to see that one HAS to come back. Breeders strive to do the best they can. Yes you can buy one from a show breeder, but you will pay a lot of money. There are PLENTY of good breeders out there that don't show.
I bred and showed my Goldens when I had them. But I never said buying from a show person is better than anybody else. You odds of course are more favorable though because all testing is done on both parents and we did DNA on both parents, I did anyway. And each person who purchased my pup got a copy. I always showed the Original to them first. It can be a VERY Political game. And I'm prety sure I speak of ALL breeds and not just Goldens.
You on the other hand can ruin this woman's reputation by her giving you a mixed breed, if it is. And stating it is a purebred. Maybe you can ask her to put in writing that it is a purebred to make you feel better. If she does it, you'll have another Ace.
IF the DNA comes back mixed, I would call her and state, we have a problem. I would further remind her of how you questioned her about your baby being a purebred. Mind you, if it is a mixed her insides are already churning. Tell her you were getting more concerned about it and decided to engage the help of your vet who did a DNA testing. And the results showed mixed. In this case I would not give her the option of explaining anything. After you tell her mix, ask her immediately when she will be returning your money. Almost like she doesn't have a choice. You can then ask her if she wants the puppy and is she going to resell it as a Yorkie. Then tell her, being she now knows the dog is considered mix, she might want to consider letting the dog just stay with you. It would be trumatic for the puppy no matter what the breed. She knows her rep is in your hands. There is more than one way to skin a cat! ewwww, I don't like that saying.
Good luck and keep us posted. |
