Seriously - since you have China - If you choose not to give her back at this time - I think he'll have to take you to small claims court or hire a lawyer and get her back.
I think I would tell him that if he's willing to wait until the puppies are 8 weeks old, you will give China back to him.
If he's not willing to wait - and wants her sooner, he'll have to take you to court.
I really suspect he'll end up waiting because going to court (with or without a lawyer) can be expense, time consuming, and a real hassle.
AND - going to court takes time - so, you'll end up getting to keep her for a few more weeks anyway.
He's in a no-win situation.
Don't argue with this guy - just say he can have China back when the pups are 8 weeks old - and, if he wants her sooner, he'll have to take you to court. Leave it at that! I really think you have the winning hand on this one!
Good luck!
