Wow! She isn't willing to help you pay for the LP surgery for Sydney but will give you another for free. I surely hope that you tell her absolutely NOT would you ever consider taking another puppy from her EVER! You said that your vet had spoken with her in the past about LP being hereditary and that she has refused to take his advice. My guess would be that you would very likely end up with a second puppy needing LP surgery in 9 months.
You should post who this breeder is so that other can be away of her breeding practices and steer clear of her.
I hope that Sydney does well with surgery and makes a quick and full recovery.
