Back in november of 09, I started searching for a quality male and female german shepherd pair for breeding. I found a female in Alberta (Howlin Good Times - great experience with them) and purchased on nov. 18th, 09.
I found a ckc registered kennel in Ontario, Hillsview Kennels, that had a very desirable breeding (the bait) take place with a famous stud dog from Europe, Navar. I sent a $500 deposit (money order even said "navar/henny litter") for a male in early december. Heard nothing for over a month, then in Jan '10, they send me a pic of... My female from the navar litter. Of course, there are no other males left, so I get nothing. They then pull the switch and try to get me to send another $1000 for a dog from another litter, or they would send me my deposit back since "We sell 80k worth of dogs a year, your $500 isn't that important to me"-jonathan mcneill telephone conversation.
I initially said okay because I was kind of over a barrel; then checked the pedigree of the dog they were offering and quickly (within a 1/2 hour) said no thanks. They were pushing a line-bred nightmare on me. Now, of course, no deposit being returned. Bottom line: I didn't get the dog I put the deposit on.
