I notified the breeder the day I found out Schatzie's diagnosis. She had never heard of such disease before. So, I explained to her what my vet told me and what I quickly learned doing research on the net about it.
I mainly informed her that we would keep her and fix her. I never asked about any such refunds or even help to pay for the surgery. I just didn't feel good about asking her for $$. I figured if she meant well she would have offered. Im probably all wrong in this as I am mainly speaking this from a "puppy buyers" point of view. I see the "breeder's point of view" towards this too. Her's as the breeder's would be I think 1) I have the option to return the pup for another pup or refund of money, 2) returned pup most likely would be put down as unable to breed, unable to sell as everybody wants a little pup, not enough room to have another house pet of her own as she has too many, etc. A breeder is in this as a business and I respect that. But I have been through 3 pups with 3 differant breeders within a year and have had bad luck all the way around....It's a pretty difficult situation as there are emotions involved being friends with two of the breeders.
Anyway, this subject is totally off the first post and I don't want to take away from her original question as that would be rude of me. I will start a thread the day of Schatzie's surgery to inform you asking her outcome.
Thanks!
