With that said, two years later you have no recourse against this breeder. Perhaps if you had informed her of his condition right away she may have offered to reimburse you a little of the purchase price towards the more expensive neuter (like breeders often do with hernia repairs). But to expect her to lower the price of a new puppy years later is completely unrealistic.
I also wonder why you would get another puppy from this breeder if you are unhappy with her?  |
I posted a reply to help clarify my parents dog's condition. We informed the breeder at 6 months old and she said they should drop within a year maybe a little longer. Also, our dog will be two in a couple months. We had bought several puppies from her and given her A LOT of business so we have always been happy with her up to this issue with our poor little man.
FYI- she did compensate with a price reduction for a new pup, so she does stand behind her dogs. And I don't think there was anything unrealistic about our expectation.
