Booo, sorry to hear you're in this situation. I would never send anyone that much money without some kind of agreement in place (in writing or by email or whatever).

"This is something we take one step at a time.."

Umm.. and Step One is taking $500 of your money before disclosing anything about the breeding?! Yikes.

Yes, I would most definately be concerned. I hope this works out OK for you.

Your cancelled check is your receipt. I'm with Rosamburg; I'd put on my bitch face and demand my money back NOW. I would NOT want a puppy from this person. Be sure to tell him you will contact the police so they can charge him with fraud, if he gives you any flak about the deposit being "non-refundable." You have not received anything for your payment to him. Don't let this guy walk all over you.

You will find the right puppy from the right breeder. If you can provide some excellent references, many reputable breeders ARE willing to ship puppies as long as there is good communication between both parties. But it probably won't happen overnight. Be patient, it WILL happen Good Luck!
