That's the thing Mikee, no breeder can guarantee a pup. They are livestock, not tools. The best he can do is offer to take it back or rehome. These guys have gone to lengths to import. I know they will bring up the covering costs issue but that could be done without such a margin.

Such a small litter will not recoup much of there importing costs, what it does show is by advertising on trademe they have lost a fair bit of ground by not breeding in the last few years.....they were at the high end back then so nothing has changed there.
