Devicio White German shepherds Deirdre Holbrook Phillips Dirty dog Breeder just want$200 deposit back because of her negligence. Lima Ohio

 Divico White German shepherds We have been looking for a white shepherd for about a month, so I decided to advertise that we were looking for a white shepherd pup for $600 in ohio. Deidre Holbrook Phillips then tagged me in her breeder page. Devicio white german shepherds. So we started a conversation.i asked typical questions how much, papers, health guarantee, she posted prices 200 deposit, 1300 due at pick up, for full akc. 200 deposit, and 800 due at pick up for limited akc. Then she sent that she was drawn to my post for whatever reason, Tiffin where I live because she knows people here, or if god wanted her to bless me. She then posted 200 deposit, 600 total when pick up. So I was under impression that I would owe 400 at pick up. I even asked next message 600 total if so interested, where do I send deposit. She gives me information and I do so that very next day.

Lots of freindly chat in between then 5 days before pick up, she gives me my balance of $800. I wrote her confused of course, she said it was a typo, she responded while driving cab, and the typo was supposed to be 800 not 600. So after being upset I was going to pay twice as much, I agree to pay the 1000 for this pup. My kids, and hubby were so excited I wasn't going to tell them we were not going to get a puppy with 5 days to go, we have waited 8 weeks. So she accepts and says see u next week. This is after she says she would never sell her pups that cheap, she had 27 people offer her more $ for her females, but since we put a deposit down, she does her business fair... then the day of pick up, I emailed her to get address where to pick pup up. I get home from work and she has written I have a few questions, I know u have 2 kids and 2 cats, how long did your last dog live? Do u have experience with shepherds? I said we have never owned a dog this will be our first, I have been doing nothing but research about shepherds since deciding to get a puppy. She responds I am sorry I cannot sell u a puppy. I would never sell my pups to a first time dog owner. It is in my contract, which I never seen til after she denied to sell me a pup. I was very upset, had to break the news to hubby and kids, I told her to return the 200 deposit and would not get lawyer involved. She refused, how it is it that she can accept my 200 deposit, drag me along for 8 weeks to tell me the day of puck up that she isn't going to sell me a pup or give my deposit back. Her ad said deposit non refundable, but I am pretty sure what she did to us was just plain theft. She should be asking these questions before she accepts their deposit, makes me wonder how many others she has screwed over like this. I talked to another person who bought a pup from same litter and she said that Deidre asked her that multiple times, about owning dogs etc. Thru the process.

I feel like she needs to return my 200 deposit beacuse she didn't do her job as a breeder and make sure that we were a fit family for her dog before accepting our deposit. Calling Lima police and filing a report, she will not hear the end of this she has blocked me from sending other messages. Anyone have any idea what else to do please advise. Thanks
