I think if I was in your shoes, I would research vets in my area, and seek out specialist. Ask questions to those that know and if the lady that has the puppy would cooperate and send you her files so you can make a real educated decision. You and only you know how much your heart and your wallet can take. Good luck!
I think the above advice is so great! It allows you to really search out your options and find everything out first and then make that decision! It also buys you some time to search your heart. I was thinking that if it were me and I could afford it I would do it. Whatever your decision, you have to make the decision that is best for you and we can all tell you what we would or wouldn't do if the situation were ours but none of us is you! So take the time you need to really figure things out and you will know in your gut what is best to do. Just to use a personal example...we were given the opportunity to adopt a baby boy from samoa that was in town and living with his uncle. Our hearts wanted so badly to have a baby that before that moment we couldn't have on our own. But my gut was telling me no and I didn't have any good reason why my gut was saying no but when you know you know. We ended up finding some details out down the road that confirmed that our final decision was right but a lot tears were cried in the process. All I can say is that your gut might be telling you yes even when all the evidence says that you shouldn't take her. Or the opposite. Go with your gut because I think it never steers us wrong if that makes any sense at all. I am praying that as you make this difficult decision that the answers will become clear and you will have peace with your decision. Please let me know if there is anything I can do even if its just providing a listening ear from someone impartial so you can dialogue all options and feelings! Would be glad to PM my phone number. Here with you in spirit!
