Complaint Review: Pat Lindsay

I paid a deposit of $2,250. for a puppy from Pat Lindsay.  Our agreement as that I was going to fly to the U.S. to get her. As I was booking my flight, I noticed on the Canandian goverment website, they said that due to Covid, all imports of puppies was put on hold, so I was not allowed to import a pup.

 I sent the breeder the webpage so she could verify the information I gave her, but she refused to give me the deposit back, saying I should have known what all the rules were. But it is impossible to know when the goverment is going to put new rules in place becasue of covid.  

 I did not sign a contract because I did not wnat to be locked into anything. I gave her the money on the understnding it was for a pup, but due to new goverent rules, I ws not allowed to import her. She owes me a refund.
