Sadly I lost a little girl when she was about 6mos old because of a genetic defect. Her breeder owned a pair and bred them. When I got my registry papers I found out that the parents were related. They shared the same dad. She died from an enlarged liver shunt but she suffered multiple seizures before she died. We were at the vets every week to every 2 weeks. It took a few test to rule out what could be to what was the problem. The vet was talking about surgery when she died. 
Now I have learned all the questions to ask and the paperwork to make them show me. |
I am so sorry for your loss. If only people would think ahead, like reputable breeders do, and think about their dogs, AND the people they will be affecting before they breed. People suffer too.
