After seeing the comments made by some of the other breeders here, I see that is not the way this type of situation would typically be handled.  |
If your dog jumped off the couch and broke his leg, would you expect the breeder to pay for the vet charges? If your dog ran out the front door and was injured, would you ask the seller to foot the bill? How about a food allergy? If your pet broke out in hives, or lost patches of hair hair and required medical attention, should the seller be expected to help pay the treatment costs??
If the buyer was unwilling to turn over vet information, vet charges and ok the breeder to speak with the vet about this case, why should the seller be expected to pay for these costs?
I know if I had a dog with an issue, I'd present every bit of evidence and every document I had ... I'd be willing to give the breeder anything she asked for. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case here.
