I am sorry to hear about your dog, but my experiences with Brenda have been nothing short of awesome. She is a great breeder who cares for her dogs and I am not just saying that because she is a friend. We bought Maverick from her well over a year ago and he is the best dog anyone could ever want. His personality is unlike any other I have ever seen.

The fact of the matter is, as many have already stated there is nothing that can prove that your dogs condition is genetic. I also find it very odd and a bit shady of the OP to not provide Brenda with the vet documentation that states this is a genetic defect when she asked for it. To me it sets off a trigger that makes me feel like your vet was inconclusive and unable to prove it was genetic. You just wanted to gain an upper hand in your squabble with Brenda.

Now I am not saying this is the truth, but like I said something on your end seems very off. I mean instead of complying with a simple request so Brenda could help rectify the situation, the OP decided to take this public and smear her name in the mud which I find to be pretty immature. Until you can prove without a shadow of a doubt this condition was genetic, you shouldn't be slandering someone.

The fact of the matter is, in a court of law you have no case. You signed the contract that stated she was not responsible for any vet costs. You were aware of this and if you weren't then you only have yourself to blame for not reading it. I am not a lawyer here, but if this was taken to the courts Brenda may actually have a counter suit against you for slander. Just something for you to think about.

Again I am sorry to hear about your dog and I wish for only the best.
