HI myjordash
I'm very sorry to hear about everything you went thru, I hope evrything works out for you, I would also keep the puppy away until vet visit and maybe a few xtra days to be inthe safe side. I myself just went thru a little trama my self with my new puppy. Sunday he started caughing really bad, then yesterday he stop eating ,this morning he was having problems breathing , I was so scared I though I was goign to loose my baby, I din't even bother to call breeder because , she said they will only replace puppy if is a hereditary problem, and that I would have to get him tested, so I already now it was going to be a lot of $$ in vet visit alone, so I hope you stand your ground with this breeder, ( I'm not practicing what I preach
) I would demand my money back and get a puppy from a different breeder, specially if you are planning to bread, I myself would feel a little uncomfortable to breed dogs that came from same breeder, I know there is great breeders out there, who work so hard and spend there money time and effort in tryint to better the breed, but you never know if this 2 are related regardless what the papers say, I know they could still be related even if its a different breeder, but I would talk to her first and explain to her , how you feel regarding the 1st puppy you got that was sick, I would try all I could to get money back, just for peace of mind,beside the worst she can say is no :
you can always continue to see how other puppies are doing maybe get references from other people who purchase puppies from her, I also know sometimes things happen, no matter how good a breeder is sometimes ,like us humans some puppies don't do so well, I'm sorry to go on and on . I hope everything goes wells no matter what you do. Take care & God Bless
