It has happened to me many times, and yes it is VERY frustrating. It makes you not want to supply anyone with stock because despite what you think you can never tell who will be the one to let you down. Mind you I suppose its worse when you find out afterwards that they have sold the animals on, not bothered breeding/showing (which is why you gave them your best mice) or worse.

It's a good job that there are those who make it worthwhile or what kind of hobby would it be? :lol: 
Seriously though, breeding any animal is hard work, especially when you have a lot and are trying to produce exhibition quality all the time. It is very time consuming but eventually I suppose we all agree it is worth it, even when it's freezing cold and snowing and we have to lug sacks of food out into the garage, or we are ill but still have to spend hours feeding and cleaning out regardless. I think everyone has their 'I should give this up' moments, but I guess that's when you find out how dedicated you are.
