On reading your post, my first thought would be this: why are you so sure they bought a puppy from another breeder? A lot of pet stores make it a practice to have popular breeds like the GSD "in stock" at all (or most) times. And it is *SO* much more convenient to buy from a store, don'tcha know. Most of them don't ask any more of the puppy buyer than that they have either the ready cash or a good, high limit credit card. <rolls eyes> Don't worry about it Dawn-Marie. Sounds to me like you did good. Anyone in THIS much of a hurry to add another being to their family strikes me as someone I'm not sure I'd really want one of my babies living with (if I were a breeder). After all... If they can buy one this quickly, how quickly would they also get rid of it if the dog had a problem or otherwise didn't work out??? :( ~*~*~*~*~*~* Karen C.
