Advice needed for puppy purchase

Aylesbury_Duck said:Isn't "Kind regards" an example of tautology? Regards in that context already means 'best wishes', so "Kind best wishes" is excessive.
My tautology pet hate is "for free". "For" is already short for "in exchange for" and free is short for "free of charge" so "in exchange for free of charge" is nonsensical. Something is either obtained for nothing or is free of charge. It can't be "obtained for free", any more that an expensive item can be "obtained for expensive".1 -

Thank you too. I appreciate your comments.I do have a message on my phone as was stated. It is not vague.It definitely states "I can refund your money minus the deposit of £500 once I have resold (pup), as I could have sold him 10 times over but refused as he was yours'.
It is worth knowing that they readvertised him & 2 other pups for a number of weeks on Pets4Homes & the advert was closed a few weeks ago.
They have never given me the option of taking the pup instead of a refund.1 -
I had the same situation with a Great dane pup a few years ago. I had to take them to the Small Claims Court. They paid up before it got as far as court. Some right shysters about where dogs are concerned.1

Thank you Silentmemory.
I completely agree. It does frustrate me somewhat as I had every intention of giving him a very loving home.I would never dream of treating someone this way.
I will live and learn though ☺️0
