You've only got two choices, drastically reduce the price or keep the animal. I've been known to actually give them away under these circumstances (admittedly unregistered ones, but pedigree)

Re: Breeders left with older puppies/kittens

Ive had this twice, once where I had to take a pup back off someone and the other time the pup was about 12 weeks old and people wernt that interested at that age.

Both occasions I kept hold of them and did everything what they would have done in their new homes for their sake. I socialised them, lead trained them, house trained them, you name it. I only sold them when I thought they were ready and waited for the right people to come along.

Once happened to me too, we were left with a bitch puppy, we socialised and trained her, and at a year old through a friend an ideal home came up for her, if it had not she would have stayed with us.
Her new owners regularly email to let me know how she is getting on, I'm glad we waited for the right people to come along, she is a lovely dog and has made her owners very happy.
