I'm sorry the puppy died. I remember him asking about getting a 7 week old puppy. many warned him not to and let it stay with the breeder a little longer. the poor pup probably had kennel cough or pneumonia which of course was not their fault at all. I honestly think that Nodak and his fiancee are good people, and i have nothing against them despite what others have said here on YT.

If they get the autopsy done and the vet finds something wrong that they can hold against the breeder then i think it would be all worth it. They will be refunded or get another puppy, tho in this instance i would want my money back and not another pup from this particular breeder. I know its hard to lose a baby so young. Even if the pup was only with them for 9 day i'm sure they still got attached.

please send them my condolences.

edit: oh and i would like to add that not all areas have emergency vets. And, even if there are quite a few emergency vets in the area not all regular vets put the number on their answering machine. I know because i have to call many vets during the course of the week.
