Wow.

I would postulate that the breeder would have had to have been aware that the dog was with the Op for 4 months and that a rehome was planned. Do you propose that all breeders should have a daily check with their pups to assure that they are with the rightful owner? For all you know, since you have only the OP's version of events, it's possible that the breeder has a lawyer of her own who advised her of her rights in regards to enforcing the contract.

If the breeder was aware that the original owner of the dog ( the daughter) had given the dog to the mother and had in fact approved of the transfer, it does not nullify the contract.

I agree facts are facts. But it's all too easy to slant the appearance of "facts" to ones favor.

If the OP wishes to have this thread closed to avoid speculation, it's within her rights to pm admin and make the request. Until then, the rest of us are free to post our speculations opinions and thoughts.
