So far, he's paid out $10,000.00 in vet bills for treatment to save the dogs life. That wasn't a typo....That's in addition to the hefty price I'm sure he paid for the dog. I'm sure anywhere between, what, 1,500 and 3,800? Anyway, he thought the dog would be healthy afterwards and is presently very dissapointed because the dog has to be on a special diet the rest of it's life and will still be under threat of getting sick again and dying for the rest of his life .....I'm sure he will have LOTS of subsequent visits to the vet as a result of the shunt. I feel really sorry for him. |
Therein lies the difference. If a breeder cannot be bothered to place their own puppies, or even care remotely to know where they will end up, they are not going to stand behind their breedings. Bottom line is they don't care about anything but the money lining
their pockets.
