You hit the nail on the head...it is how you are treated AFTER the sale that counts.
We, as breeders can have problems and make mistakes, but for goodness sakes fix it!!!
My best advise is to place your male and start again. I have yet to meet any breeder who did not have a number of false starts...sometime when you have a few hours, call me...I can tell you about all the dogs I have bought in 35 yrs and how many were real rip offs...LOL
