I didn't know that - I guess that is good information to have when I look for my next furbaby. Bridget was a rescue so I am not aware of the options to those who purchase from a breeder. Now I know what to look for. Or am I reading this wrong....I'm really just trying to learn from others trials and errors. |
You would have to read the contract to see what you can and can not do. Plus if you went to a home with substandards then I am sure the breeder could care less about the dogs and their health.
A reputable breeder would be very open to communication about the health of one of their puppies and not immediatley look for other causes.
Again, I believe there is more to the story and other motives behind this whole thread. If you choose to pick and take from this thread then please continue to do your homework. These type of threads always have a lot going on under the surface.
