I am really hesistant to ask this question for fear that it will be blown out of proportion but here goes.

What happens if you have a pup diagnosed with liver shunt that is purchased from a broker? With a reputable breeder, some kind of arrangement would be made for an exchange pup or refund of money along with retaining the pup at your own vet expense.

If you purchase from a broker, is there that type of guarantee? We know the broker is in it only for the money. I couldn't see them parting with their "commission." If the breeder sold the pup to a broker in the first place for placement, I would think the breeder would blow you off and could care less about the pup's disease.

Am I thinking about this the right way?
