[Lacy's Mom]

I am no longer breeding, but recently had just one litter. I sold one puppy and kept two. I didn't advertise until 12 weeks because he was tiny and the Mom was still nursing. I sold the puppy for $1,100.00 which included a very generous puppy package (all new with tags - bed, carrier, puppy pads, food, treats, chew bones, brush, toenail clippers, nutrical, about 7 toys close to $150.00) and it also included a paid puppy package from my vet for remaining vaccinations, rabies tag, registration, microchip,etc.

Now the stress - she just contacted me and wants to return the puppy after two and half weeks. He was very close to being completely potty trained on pads and outdoor. The two I kept are doing very well. She doesn't work, but she recently had a pacemaker put in (prior to getting puppy) and feels that it is too much for her.

My concerns - even though the vaccinations were paid for she has not followed through in getting them and the puppies I have won't have their final vaccine for two more weeks so I am uneasy about reintroducing him into my household since he only had one vaccine at 9 weeks, due another at 13 and 17 and he is 15 weeks today.

I am also concerned that all my hard work housetraining might have been lost and worry that it will cause the two I kept to regress.

I also hate putting the puppy through the stress of re-homing. I know she has been sleeping with the puppy in her bed which is fine I have always done that too so that is why I included a carrier in the puppy package so he wouldn't fall off the bed. The problem is that since I kept two puppies I am kenneling them at night and not sure if he will be happy going back to the schedule he had here.

I want to be fair to us both, but do not know how much money I should return or if I should even take the chance bringing him back into my house. I also don't know how much I will need to discount the price to sell him quickly at this age since many buyers believe 8 weeks is the time a puppy should be sold. I still have contact information for many people who responded to the ad that I can send messages to, but am worried that they will feel something is wrong with him since he is being returned. I also am not 100% sure about his health beings he has not been in my care for over two weeks.

I have always tried to treat people the way I would like to be treated, but I would never ask to return a healthy puppy after two weeks just because I changed my mind.

Even if no one has any advice, it feels good writing it out. Thanks for reading/listening.
