In my case, I consider myself in it for the good of the breed, not as a living to make money. Ergo, whatever health issue a puppy may present, I would take care of it with my Vet and would not put it to sleep just because it is not a market item and will cost me money to help. I don't care if it ends up living with me for the rest of its life or if I do eventually find a good home to place it in a pet home.
I have also spent money to rescue a Yorkie a couple of times that was not my breeding nothing to do with me, but it needed help. My Vets know this about me and I have no trouble getting help from them when I need it, be it my dog, puppy, or any yorkie needing help that lands in my lap.
Any reputable breeder would do the same. |
I totally agree with you. If the puppy was returned to me, I would do everything in my power to get the help it needs then it would be my pet forever and ever. I have never heard of people putting them to sleep because they are sick without trying to help them. Maybe I am niave.
