I am also worried for you. I totally understand you wanting to get the pup sooner than later (I would too in this case!). She doesn't sound like what she's led you to believe. I would never have a dog shipped to me because it just sounds too risky...I would want to see the dog and hold the dog in my lap on the way home. She should have sent the contract to you after your last payment (it's just common sense). I've dealt with byb who always had an excuse about sending my baby's AKC paper, but I eventually got it 8 months later
I was persistent though!
I really hope your case is just that the breeder is busy with so many stuff....I really hope you get the pup and that the pup isn't sick.
Everything you noted just doesn't sound right to me...I'm going to PM you for the breeder's name because I will be looking for a pup in a year and definitely don't want to purchase from this breeder.
