Thats one of those live and learn deals, Many more to come in a lifetime. Id just drop the whole thing and not affiliate your self with the fella anymore. You learned your lesson I hope. I havnt been in your situation but Im currently in the other fellas situation with some pups I have now that were givin to me by some fellas that I have the utmost respect for and these pups will be with me and only me until a hog kills them or they are culled by me. Sorry about the whole deal Noah
Good post and good advice. We share the same code it seems Ben.
I have been seeing bad deals like this go down since Jr. High school. Fortunatley, I have not been a part of one after all these years.
A mans integrity shouldn't have any price on it much less the price of a good pup.
My own failures as a breeder has given me the utmost respect for the successful breeders out there.
At the very least, he should have offered the pup back to you.
Log it in your lessons learned book and let it go.
