Okay, wow, I wasn't expecting this, but the breeder's getting snotty with me b/c it's mixed w/a Toulouse and I said "What? You never said anything about this being a mixed breed! If I knew it, I would not have bought it b/c I don't want to breed mixed breeds into my sebbies. I just bought 3 more purebred babies to go with her and now I can't b/c otherwise all of MY babies will be mixed."
She replied back that the gray comes fromt he toulouse and that's how they got the color into the sebbies in the first place and I said I'm sorry, but that is not common knowledge to a newbie. She said that it IS common knowledge if you know how to use google and that no one twisted my arm to make the purchase! OMG! Are you KIDDING ME???? What a B!! I've been to dozens of websites and I HAVE done research and not one breeders website said ANYthing about breeding the toulouse in in order to get the gray coloring. So no - I'm not going to think anything of that at all. I'm just going to think it's a gray sebby. Period. It was advertised as "gray sebastopol gosling, born x/x/xx, $20 (I can't remember DOB). I'm sorry, but you don't advertise it as a purebred if it isn't a purebred. And it wasn't even hers, she was selling it for a friend.
Someone else chimed in (public FB group, so anyone can see the conversation) that there's no such thing as a buff sebby, it's a sebby X american buff cross. And the saddle backs are sebby x saddleback pomeranian crosses. So now I'm even more confused - are they all mixes? CAN I use it in my breeding program? Or are the mixes so far back generation wise that they're actually considered purebreds, now?
Sorry, but I'm kinda ticked. IDK what to do!
She is REALLY making it off like it's all MY FAULT for not knowing that she was selling a mix breed when SHE is the one who omited information in order to make the sale! That's like someone advertising a Lab and you go to pick it up and it's got curly fur and they say "Oh, it's a Labradoodle!"
