How can I get a refund from a dog breeder who sold me a mixed breed puppy as a purebreed?

I drove from Boise, Idaho to Princeton, West Virginia in mid-November to buy a 6 week old English Bulldog pup from my daughter’s close friend who owns a male and female English Bulldog.
After the pup grew taller and leaner, I questioned whether the pup was purebred. The breeder responded to my questions and request for a refund by saying that a Boxer and an English Bulldog mix is called an American Bulldog and since I still bought a Bulldog he refuses to refund my money. I would never have crossed the country to buy a mixed breed dog. What are my options to get this back yard breeder to refund my money?

First, the American Bulldog is an actual breed, although not one recognized by the AKC. The UKC and registries in the UK reconize it, though. It is bred just like all other purebred lines, at least when bred properly, and is NOT the result of mixing a Boxer and a Bulldog. You did NOT buy a bulldog, you bought a mutt (as you’re aware, of course).

Unfortunately, unless you have some sort of documentation that clearly states that the dog is an English Bulldog, you probably can’t get anywhere with this. In order to get a refund, you’ll have to part with the dog.

Personally, I would just move on. Sure, you never would have gone through all that for a mixed breed had you known, and you were scammed. That doesn’t mean that the dog can’t be a wonderful addition to your household.
