That's a pretty sweeping generalization, and not at all accurate, at least not in my case. This was a BIG purchase for me, and I made sure she knew that. I would have NEVER spent that kind of money on something I KNEW to be a risk. I truly believed Cindy was a knowledgable, forthright breeder and she comes across as SOOOO sweet and genuienly interested in her customers. Because she so firmly assured me of Huck's weight I purchased him from her, and I felt confident that if he were to fall short of any of her claims, she would be willing to make things right. I was honestly surprised when she refused, and that's why I'm so upset.
It's precisely because I made it so clear that size was of the upmost importance and because she assured me over and over that he would remain small that I feel she owes me some reparation. Initially, I even asked her outright, have any of your tiny teacups ever been significantly larger than expected, and she said no. If I had failed to make my wants clear or she had even once stated he might be much larger than predicted, I wouldn't feel justified in asking for anything, but that's just not the case here. |
