And needless to say they went to another breeder in the area and got another puppy....had I known that to happen these folks would have never gotten a puppy in this area!
All this breeder was concerned about was the puppy's well being and he's still deaf, blind and has seizures but it is controlled for now until he gets worse and has to cross rainbow bridge...the reason I know all this is because I know the breeder personally (no it's not me) I wasn't breeding 4 years ago. It's a sad case but the little guy is so sweet. |
That is just unconscionable. Poor baby...
I recently read a contract where the seller offered a LIFE time guarantee against congenital defects. This was not yorkie puppies, but I did think....there is a breeder who is
certain of their lines. Or perhaps...they realize just how infrequently they have had to replace a puppy or refund money. I would suspect more buyers elect to keep a puppy with a congenital defect and accept the responsibility of having them treated....outnumber the ones who do not. They are attached to THIS puppy.
Side note - a young guy who works next door...his girlfriend purchased a yorkie pup from a pet store (yeah, I know...learned this yesterday). That puppy came with a 3 year congenital health guarantee. I haven't seen it...I don't know how difficult it would be to enforced...nor any fine print...but I was surprised to say the least.
