The breeder I bought Bella from had the same thing, 48 or 72 hours (something like that). We picked her up on a Saturday and of course couldn't call the vet until Monday and the soonest day they could see her was the upcoming Thursday (5 days after we got her). I emailed the breeder to let them know and they said no problem, they would still honor the contract (and I got it in writing via the returned email). I didn't have a problem taking her to the vet, it gave me peace of mind. The breeder has a 1 year health guarantee. I would think requesting the new parents to have the puppy vet checked would help insure that if there is something wrong that may have been missed by previous checkups it would be found sooner rather than later.
