I said to her "Then why would you continue to sell a pup to her, knowing that she is just going to rehome the pup shortly after." She said "Well, I thought she learned." We all know it was about another sale. There is no learning. Four pups and you're still selling to that person. Anyway, I give credit to breeders like yourself that will not sell to someone they know is not a good home.
As far as expenses go. I would do without before my pup did. My little girl we bought on 12/28 and she was sick since time of purchase. We had the initial outlay for her and then another $523 in vet bills. Am I happy. Nope. Did I really have $523 to hand out in less then ten days of owning the pup. Nope. However, she is my responsibility now so you do what you have to.
Don't beat yourself up over it. You asked the right questions and you did your job. You can't read everyone. I know this from experience. There are a lot of good con people out there and even the best of us get taken.

Thanks elaine..and i have read about your little girl i hope she is improving more n more..so sorry for that situation you were/are in with those breeders.
i try to talk to people alot that are getting puppies..if they dont talk or email me often i feel like they have no interest and i usually tell them no..i gave a deposit back on the last litter because i like the person initally and as time went on i didnt like the way she presented herself to me and how she cared for the dog. and plus google and facebook i was like uh..nope and i gave her the deposit back...she made me a little worried for him. im usually very talkative and chatty about the yorkies and i get really nosey...(my husbands words)...
i get concerned with the people obsessed with no accidents in the house and potty training..people with little kids...people like this one that are open and honest about letting one go for training issues or whatever their excuse is and then want another from me...thats a no..how do i know they wont do the same with the new pup...
i love repeat buyers but not in that since... i like the ones that want another or they send friends/family to me to meet..i perfer word of mouth any ways
people are fickle
