I have not really read too much into all of this with Bleu..so I dont really have alot to add..I dont agree with breeding tinies or selling odd coloured puppies as "rare" and jacking up the prices on them. On the other hand I would think it is possible that adjusting the neck on a tiny puppy could be very dangerous but again I am not a doctor nor do I claim to know the in's and out's..I just dont even agree with humans having their necks adjusted..Ive heard too many horror stories..so I just cant imagine it with a tiny puppy. I can tell the OP does have sincere love for her puppies although she does need to realize that breeding these tiny puppies is just wrong and it isnt doing anything for the breed. I feel bad for all involved here..I really sense the OP is sincere..and sincerly didnt mean to hurt anyone..but that is just a feeling I get. She isnt being nasty or rude..maybe just ignorant about breeding?? I dont know the right words..I also dont know about breeding..is it typical for a breeder to pay for surgery when they offered to take the puppy back or replace it? If it were a different condition say liver shunt..would the breeder be responsible for paying for that?? I am soooooooooo not trying to argue anyone..I am quite ignorant myself to the breeding world...I guess its just my gut feeling that the OP loves her dogs..what is the solution now? Is she to pay the total costs for the surgery..or the total cost for Bleu? I would think a full refund would be in order in any case for sure..man its such a sad situation all around..
