She asked for $600.00 but agreed to $350.00 when I said that I did not want to breed her. I sent the first installment by mail to her po box, as she requested of $175.00 and the first week in April 2010, met "her husband" in Norridgewalk to pick up the puppy and pay the final $175.00.

I did think that it was strange that she did not want us to go to her house. She has sent two pictures via emal of what looked like a black Shihtzu during the first eight weeks.

Later the vet that I use told me that Shihtzus are not usually one solid color, and he thought that was strange. As she got a little older, she started developing the tall, white guard hair of a terrier. Her tail does not turn over at her back like a Shihtzu, and her eyes and face are not the same. I have two other Shihtzus and know what I am looking for.

When I contacted Donna, she said that she didn't know what happened. Her husband must have picked up the wrong puppy. She said that she would get the $300.00 back to me as she was selling the terrier mix pups for $50.00.

I have not seen the money, and I get a different story as to why from her every time I contact her.

I have seen other reports regarding her and feel that she is a fraud. Now, how do I get my money back?
