I can understand why your mad. You didn't think the breeder would lie about the weight but it does happen and I'm sorry it happened to you. You didn't do anything wrong but believe what the breeder told you. I know that you're mad right now but maybe before you do anything else think about what you want to happen from here. Do you want to keep the puppy? Do you want to return the puppy? Really think about it....I'm curious about the contract as well. Also, I'm not sure how many times you've contacted the breeder but you should be able to contact the breeder especially if she sold you a dog claiming to weigh a certain amount and the pup gets delivered at a different weight. It sounds like she's just trying to scare you into letting it go. It really isn't fair to you. I'm pretty sure there is a way to return the dog and get your money back. If that's what you want to do?

Having said all that, I have to agree with Jemma too. You didn't get a bad deal for an AKC pup and the little dogs are so much more fragile and sometimes not as healthy etc etc but you have to live with the dog and if it's not what you want then you shouldn't have to keep the pup. The term "Teacup" is a marketing tool used by some people to sell their overpriced runts of a litter anyway. They should be cheaper not more money.

I'm sure this has a lot to do with the way the breeder handled the situation.

Curious, did you weigh your pup at the vets office or on a home scale? Some scales are different.
