The puppy does have a health guarantee that breeder said he'd honor--refund my friend's money, but that's still going to leave a huge vet bill and she's very upset. I do think they're secretive--a couple so far have been forthcoming with info, albeit qualified because they haven't seen the puppy, but willing to give a range the average case would fall into. So far I've come up with two, one a major university veterinary hospital and another a small, local surgical practice. They came in close to each other in the $2000-3000 range. This is for a Northeast US region. |
