What's going on?? Something is not right here........I'm just not sure exactly what it is, but I know something is wrong. The best case scenario is that you could be right and she is still alive and he just doesn't want to pay what he owes you. I'd hate to think someone would stoop so low as to say that she died just to keep her, but I'm sure it happens. The worst case scenario is that she really died from an accident and he thought you would cut him a deal or give him a free pup because of her death. Either way, I would ask for the name of the vet she saw and for her vet records. If you have to, you could tell them some story about you having a relative of the pup that you were going to breed and you are concerned that if it is genetic then the pups you breed will be affected or any other story you can think of. Do they live nearby where you could just show up unaanounced at their door and see if the dog was there?? Is there any other way to figure out what really happened? Just curious..was he looking for a female pup from you or a male?
