You know what? We aren't EVER going to get to the truth of the matter here. There's the OP's side, they Buyer's side and then the new owner's side - who isn't here, so we won't ever have an accurate picture of what is going on with the health of the dog now.
The truth is somewhere in between those 3 stories. We aren't going to be able to make an accurate cyber-diagnosis on this dog, so we shouldn't really be trying to say one side is in the right and the other is wrong.
What we can take away from this is the following:
1- Buyers- know your breeder. You need to be comfortable with all of their practices and with the contract you are signing.
2- Breeders - know your buyer. Know what they plan on doing with your dog once it leaves your care. Have a plan in place if there might be a problem down the road.
3- And finally, this is the most important: It's ALL about the health of the dogs. Their well being comes first and foremost. Finger pointing and hurt feelings are for 3rd graders. Grow up, get over it and move on.
