I would tend to think that replacing a puppy is a good idea, giving $ back to the buyer there is no way to know if it will actually go toward the surgery. I know that there are ways to work around it but I would not be comfortable doing that. Especially when things are as tense as they are now. Both sides are on the defensive.
If I were in the breeders place I would uphold my contract, which it looks like she is doing. It would be very hard to have one of my babies from my home go somewhere and need help. I have no doubt that Brenda would like nothing more than to help her puppy. But a contract is a contract, Brenda is bound the same way the buyer is.
If I were in the buyers place I would take a look at weather or not I have the funds to spend on the surgery and recovery of my pet and make my decision based on that. Taking your hart out of decision making is VERY hard, I think to do what is best for the pup involved is the right thing here, whatever that may be.
