What a mess.
The breeder you have picked doesn't sound Kosher.....
The deposit should have been refundable when the dog you picked was not available. And not her telling you what dog you're going to have. You wanted a girl not a boy. The only time it is not refundable is when the buyer changes their mind.
12 or more weeks is fine when selling a pet puppy. But, for a breeder to allow a breeding / show dog go, it shouldn't be until 7-10 months of age.
I don't know if you know this breeder on a personal level, but if not I just can't phanthom selling any of my pups on open registration to someone that I didn't know on a personal level and wasn't going to Champion my dog.
