I will try to work it out with her but I'm willing to bet she'll try to replace the puppy and I don't want another puppy from her!!!! There's got to be a way to get my money back if she's not purebred...a lawyer will help. I don't care what I spend, it's more a matter of principle and me not supporting the breeder!!!!!!!!!! I feel like it's people like me who keep these practices alive...this is why I walked away from the other breeder who had aprox. 40 plus dogs in this little room.....there was no way I was going to give her any money so she could keep breeding like that! I will keep you posted and I'm not sure how long it takes to get the test back....I'm going to call today and see if I can make an evening appointment before Saturday cuz I can't wait that long! The breeder seemed knowledgeable and I thought she was reputable...I searched online and found only positive reviews...that's what's so confusing about this!!! |
This has to be very frustrating when you tried to approach this the right way. But keep in mind, the parents you saw could very well be the parents of this little one. The mixing could have been in generations past. This breeder may feel she has done nothing wrong. But I strongly feel these things happen a lot more when you deal with the ACA, APRI, etc. There are AKC puppymills and unscrupulous breeders too but more and more they are being brought down and then they either go out of business or turn to the easier registries. I never knew any of this before I started getting online and reading about Yorkies either. I think most of us are honest and want to believe everyone else is to.
I wish you luck with your testing and any follow on action that may be necessary!
