Sounds like you are making a real effort to buy wisely...
I'm not entirely into the whole show thing-but I see why it is important here's my deal on it as an enthusiast not a breeder or show person...
If she lied about that what else is she lying about?
Health is my foremost concern as it seems you are strictly looking for a pets as I was before...does she do genetic testing, health screenings? Did she show you proof of it? Liver shunt, Luxating patellas, etc ?
Furthermore is the pup AKC registered> limited registration or full registration...did she show you the parents pedigrees?
What is your health guarantee sales contract? Do you understand it and agree to it completely? GET A COPY...of everything, don't take the pup without it or in writing you will get it by a specified date (not the health guarantee sales contact you get those prior or at the time of pick up-period, but pedigree copies, AKC registration etc. can be later-I'd not wait but some ppl do.
When in doubt walk away...loosing a deposit stinks (but if she lied about claims seems you should get it back but may need to seek legal advice or go to court-drama) but that may be the most cost effecting on you finances and your emotions in the long term... |
