There is a short sticky post thats locked, on how to find a good breeder. There is not a lot of info and nothing about red flags. With all the talk about good vs bad and red flags I thought for sure there would be a thread on the topic but couldn't find anything. I think thats a great idea. Not everyone will agree about good vs bad but at least there could be some info on
possible red flags, and then a person could make their own decision on what they are ok with or not.
Scooby, I don't think you are going to get a answer on how can someone blame the breeder for Bleu's problem. Many people have different opinions. It can go back and forth and then the thread gets locked. You have the info I think from both sides, you have some info on genetic vs congenital, and now you should weigh it all out and then make a choice. If you like the breeder fine, if not, there are many other breeders.
