You agreed on a price for 2 specific animals of a specific sex. The breeder should be asking your forgivness for their mistake, not trying to stick their mistake to you and charge you more for it..

The fact that one of the animals was the wrong sex is a deal breaker if you have a contract. It can't be met by them on those specific animals because they are not both female. I'd tell them take it or leave it. If they don't intend to provide the animals specified in the contract for the price specified in the contract tell them you want your deposit back, and look elsewhere.

If they don't like it, and won't return your deposit you can take them to small claims court since they are local enought for you to see the animals first hand. I hope you don't have to go that far, but it's an option..

Good luck.
