I am having issues with a dog breeder. I bought a collie from her 3 years ago who I am madly in love with. A year ago I decided to get another collie from her. She was going to sell me a male. After I had him paid for she backed out and said she wanted to keep him. She told me she would instead give me a puppy from her next litter for the same price. I was told her female was coming in so puppies should be born a little over 2 months from that time. Well, the dog did not come in heat (that's what I was told anyway). She told me it was a false heat and she should come in soon. It has now been well over a year. I have been e-mailing her off and on all year and she has been keeping in touch with me. About a month ago I e-mailed asking for my money back. She has not reponded since. This woman usually responds within 30 minutes of an e-mail. Here's where it gets tricky. She is out of state. She is in Tennessee and I am in Louisiana. You usually have to be in the state to file a claim or press charges and you have to be in the state for the trial. Is there anyway around that? Has anyone gone through something similar?
Oh, and the male she "wanted to keep" was sold a month later after she offered him to me again for $400 more than she asked originally. I should have backed out then but I really wanted a new collie puppy!
