Prayer's coming for little Joey today, Donna.
I hope and pray he is as good as new after his surgery this am.
It's sad to read stories like this. You think your getting a healthy
puppy, fall in love with that puppy and then whammy you have
a very sick little guy who needs surgery to survive and lot's of
$$$$ to make this happen. Buying from a repitable breeder is suppose
to protect you from this, right? If this is the very first time this
has happened in this breeder's line than I think she would be more
than willing to pitch in and help with the financial cost to help this
puppy survive and not worry so much about the original contract.
To me that would be what a responsible breeder would do under these
circumstances if she indeed really cared about that puppy. Then of course
stop breeding the adults who this puppy came from and inform any
other's who purchased puppies from these adults. I am not a breeder, far
from it but to me it's the right thing to do in this case. |
