Legally, you could take him to small claims court. Or hire a lawyer for a flat fee to write him a threatening letter (but you have to be willing to really sue the guy if he doesn't pay up.) There are lawyers that specialize in "collections" activity. It depends on how much you are owed, it might not be worth it.

Anyway, the guy sounds like a crook, I'd make this as public as you can.

I'm with Soapie&Buddy'sMom on this one. Write the letter and see what sort of reaction you get. I've also heard of other people writing letters to the breed associations / clubs that the offending breeder is a part of. Just to get the 'public' support you'll need.

But I do agree that you don't want a pup from this guy and are better off without him. Better that you found out now rather than after you were tied to him with one of his pups!
