It's much better to read the actual law and not how someone else interprets it like the site given above.
Testing costs: well that depends on the price of the dog. She has already had the tests done both of which are not that expensive. Coccidia can show up under the vet scope as well as mange mites.
"The buyer may also choose a refund plus reimbursement for veterinary expenses related to certifying the dog's illness, up to the price of the dog."
If she keeps the dog she can get back 75% of what she paid for the puppy as well as vet fee's.
I also want to add that is most definitely effects hobby breeders if they sell more then 2 litters a yea (or even give away), and most do.
You know how many breeders are getting through loopholes in CA? They are buying dogs and then reselling them for cheap to "guardian homes", who are required to allow the breeder use of the dog, male or female for her breeding program. I know of several breeders doing this, they do it in other states now as well so they don't have to get a breeding license.
