Hi Cheryl.

Of course you need to realize none of us spoke to the man to "read
into" some of his attitude so we might

be advising you wrong...BUT... FIRST...since you are asking these questions
I would assume you sense

a problem!?

I agree with Kathy.   The man did not trust you...nor your Vet...and it
doesn't sound like you trust him either.

He is contacting you again after contacting numerous breeders,  and I
suspect he probably couldn't get a puppy

from them either .   They likely sensed the same "pain"  that Kathy
mentioned.   <G>

If he didn't trust you to begin with...and you were 'put off' to begin
with... typically things won't change.

The first time he checks with you for advice or a question or on a
perceived problem and you try to advise him,

he is not going to listen because the trust simply is not there.   Buyers
MUST trust you for you to be able to help

them over "puppy hurdles"...on their own behavior or the puppy's  behavior
or simple care or mistakes.

I would do exactly as Kathy said.....tell him the pups were spoken
for...but be willing to listen to him and answer

any more questions he may have.  At this point it is not a relationship
built on trust.   Maybe he'll be back and you

will both change your concerns.
