I had a dog that became paralyzed at 6 years old because of a weak disk in his back that slipped and severed a nerve. The weakness had apparently always been there but hadn't caused a problem until that time. I never thought about going back to the breeder and blaming them. Ruffles was a wonderful pet for 6 years and it was just something that happened. He was a living being not a mechanical creation, he wasn't created by a human and couldn't be warrented by one.
