You absolutely correct. Here's Dr Center's protocol and updated info on bile acids:

Health Screening Clinics

Pups should be screened at 16 weeks and again at 6 months of age. That is unless the pup is exhibiting outward signs of shunt. Drawing of the blood using the correct equipment is of the prime importance.

As far as the breeder; she should be there for you. All monies should be returned to assist you in obtaining the proper medical care.
