Are you sure the vet is an actual vet and not just a friend participating in the scam? If so, contact the vet and explain the situation. Ask if the vet has another number to reach this person or is willing to pass a message on to them.
That's a blanket statement and not true. Everything else you said, I totally agree with. But meeting a person face to face does nothing to insure a reputable breeder. I have never met my breeder face to face and many dogs are bought over the internet from reputable breeders.A breeder that will sell a puppy to anyone over the internet without meeting them first is NOT a reputable breeder.
True, but I'm betting, the breeders you've purchased from didn't have a Paypal button on their website, and probably asked you at least a few questions before selling you one of their puppies. That does not seem to be the case here.That's a blanket statement and not true. Everything else you said, I totally agree with.

Well, these are the two photos I took of her while at the breeder's house. She's gorgeous!Congratulations! Can't wait to see pictures of her!
I've done lots of buying and selling with Paypal for cloth diapers and handmade baby clothing. You can definitely file a claim with them, which will alert the seller that you're concerned. Then you can escalate if you don't hear, and Paypal will investigate. I'm not sure which option you chose (ie. goods, cash, etc.), but often times the seller will be motivated to respond to you even if the option you chose isn't eligible for investigation. You have up to 45 days from the exchange of funds to file. Good luck!I paid the $200 deposit over Paypal. Isn't there a way to contact them and get my money back? If not, then I will just cut my losses because I'd rather have a healthy dog.
