Most pet insurance doesn't cover genetic conditions.

My advice to anyone with a poorly bred puppy is to set up a bank account now and add to it monthly. Don't touch the money unless it's an emergency so it can build up for later on.

That's actually great advice for anyone with a dog. Veterinary care is expensive and emergencies always seem to happen at the worst possible times financially. What I did with the wonderful vet I have been with for years is send them the $35 I would pay for pet insurance every month to build up a spending account much like what I have through work. You don't want it to be huge amount like you would have in a savings account, but it's fabulous to have about $500 with them to cover an emergency or a bill that was a little more than you expected.
