I know that your contract might not include a health guarentee, but I would still try to talk to the breeder about this. Not for nothing, but you bought not one, but TWO dogs from her for quite a bit of money. I would think that she would want to keep her reputation untarnished as a breeder. If you have this problem, there could be dozens of others that are or will go discover the same conditions in their babies. My cousins just lost their English Mastiff that was just over 2 years old. Even though their breeder gives a one-year guarentee, she went above and beyond what was legally required of her and GAVE them another Mastiff because she felt so bad. There are good breeders out there that really care about their dogs (and not their bank accounts!) and will want to help you, but if you don't talk to her she'll never know what's going on. |
