[Lady of Yorkies]

I sold a Morkie. A little brown female. I did not give a contract, the lady didn't ask for one and didn't take me up on the offer of a contract.

What happened you ask? She took the puppy last Sunday and called today to say that the female she bought is a male. HUH?! It took her a week to figure out the parts? She has a male and she couldn't compare them? I had four in the litter, 2 brown puppies, 2 black puppies. A male and a female of each. I wrote it down when they were born, as they were born. I weighed them at 5 weeks old and I had one brown male and one brown female. Not two brown males. Unfortunately, those are the only two times I wrote down that I had a brown female. I did send her pictures of the puppy and one was of her on her back which would show that she had no penis. Unfortunately, again, I deleted the sent message that contained copies of the picture and managed not to save the pictures on my computer. Sigh. The only proof that I have that I had a brown girl is the 2 entries in my ledger and 9 family members that live here.

She took the puppy to her vet today to have it checked for it's gender. Supposedly the vet said it was a boy. I am hoping there was some kind of misunderstanding of the wording of their sentences. I barely have a reputation as a breeder and don't want anyone besmirtching it. Since I did nothing to protect myself, I have agreed to see the puppy she claims to have bought from me. If it is my puppy, I will know it. If it is not my puppy, I will tell her so but I fully expect her to insist it is the puppy she bought from me and want her money back. Since I cannot prove I had a brown girl, I have offered her the other girl from the litter. I fully expect her to refuse the puppy because she wanted a brown female. At that point I will refund her money except a $50 deposit and the male will stay with me. If she does accept the black female, she will be leaving with a contract.

I stand behind my puppies 100% so I have never pushed the contracts. I have never had anyone try to do me dirty before. It has never been brought home so hard that the contract protects both of us.

If she is trying to do me dirty, I think she found a brown male and wants to convince me that I somehow made a mistake to get her money back. If she is trying to pull a fast one on me, if she takes the black female and ends up having 2 females from me, well it is a hard lesson to learn to protect my reputation. If that is what is going on, she will have destroyed my belief in my fellow humans basic honesty. At 55 years old, I have never had anyone go to such lengths to cheat me. I pray there is some other explaination. Sylvia
