I brought the puppy to the vet today because it had been very sick yesterday, threw up all night, and then wouldn't eat today. Also, it had a bad cough. So the doctor is checking everything out and was like- WHOA it's a girl!!! And she ends up having pneumonia So the bill is $300, I am pissed because we specifically asked the breeder for a boy and now I look like an idiot who can't tell a boy dog from a girl dog (oh and not to mention we now have to change the name!!)
So I get home and FH calls the breeder and she agrees to take off the money we spent at the vet off the bill, but nothing to compensate for sending us a girl. She said we could send it back, but there is no way I am putting this poor puppy through all that (not to mention I am a little happy it turned out to be a girl ) Is it just me or should she take a little more off for messing up? FH thinks I am crazy and I am so upset over all this (well not to mention I just had to see my puppy stuck with needles and now she is sooo groggy its sad) We are now fighting because he thinks we should just let it go....
Am I being crazy? Also any girl dog names you can think of would be appreciated as we are now back to the beginning

I have a chocolate lab too... mine's a 10 month old boy now.
I wanted a girl too, but FH wanted a boy, so a bay we got. Girl's names are fun though! I LOVE Stella, or maybe Lola, or Lexi?

She is sooo cute, I think you should keep the name stanley, be different That is super weird about the breeder screwing up the sex, I definitely think this is something worth being upset about just not for long, let it go and enjoy being with your new puppy

Re: OMG- The puppy is.....
OK so I decided to name her Dakota! It just seemed to fit. And about the breeder I am going to see if they will take off the cost of shipping her back and another one out since they would have had to pay for all that if we decided to send her back. I think it's only fair. Thanks for all your kind words
OH and the best news is that she ate her dinner and is back to playing with her brother

I love the name Sophie for a girl.. she's super sweet.. I am sorry that you already had to go though this much with the puppy.. Make sure to get her some vitamins too.. we give our puppy Ennervite and he loves it.. you can get it at any pet store..

Maybe 'Kahlua' has a chance, now? I LOVE that name. And - boy or girl - that puppy is friggin' adorable! I'm not too much of a dog person, but YOUR puppy stole my heart as soon as I saw the picture! Tell 'The Puppy Formally known as Stanley' to feel better!

Aw, she's so adorable! I'm glad you're keeping her anyway, after all, it's not her fault she's a girl! I'm glad to hear she's feeling better as well.
And Dakota is a great name. One of my dog's sisters was named Dakota (Dakota was the puppy out of the litter that the breeder decided to keep for her kids so she was all named and ready to go.) That was years ago though... my puppy passed away this fall at the ripe old age of 11 (which is old for such a big dog)
Anyway, long story short, it's a beautiful name for a dog! I hope you and Dakota enjoy your life together
