Oh PurpleKisses I am so sorry this has happened to you and it is understandable that you are stressed by all of it, but I can't help but think that Bella is in such a good place with you despite all of this. I hope all of this does not "color" you feelings for Bella.
I am naive like you say you were, but had such a great experience when I purchased my Cali -- the breeder insisted on a contract and talked with me frequently, wanted pictures of my house, yard, my previous Yorkie, and wanted references one of which was my vet - big difference from your experience. Then I had to come and get her face-to-face so the breeder could meet me.
Please hang in there with Bella - none of this is her doing or fault and I praise you for your willingness to make a home for her.
It really hurts when we can't trust one another.
