Meeko has Inguinal hernias. This type of hernia is genetic. I called the breeder and told her she called my vet and asked how much it would cost to get it fixed and paid for the surgery and then reimbursed me the remainder of the money I paid for Meeko. I did not request to have my money back. I did a lot of research on this breeder before I got my puppy she is a very reputable breeder. The vet said that the hernias are so small her vet could of not felt them or just not even checked. She also sent me paperwork from her vet and also a second vet to show me that Meeko's parents checked out and they did not have hernias. The lady has been very pleasant and we talk often about Meeko. I would not give him up for the world he has a great temperment and definately has a big spot in my heart already! But like a responsible parent we will get Meeko fixed as soon as he is old enough because he is not perfect and only perfect yorkies should breed but he is a wonderful puppy!

I would not pay the full amount that she is charging for the other puppys without issues. You might ask her if any of her other puppies have had issues with this and you might call your vet and see if this is genetic.
