Kennel cough, pneumonia,coccidia, giardia, LP 3/4 both rear legs, arthritis both front legs, not to mention the inguinal hernia that I knew about when he was 2 months old and Buster is only 18 months old. Who knows what else is down the road due to his early start. We all know that people will use clever marketing to lure in potential buyers. People come here and ask for advice.What is great about this forum is people are entitled to offer their opinion and the OP gets to sift through and make their own decision. I would rather have someone be aware of all the potential red flags than have to deal with the heartbreak of bring home a sick puppy or even worse one that dies. A health guarantee, a replacement puppy, NEVER makes up for the sadness of having to take care of a sick puppy.
Wolves or Hens I am glad they are out there helping.
We live and learn. I've witnessed a great change in YT since I joined. More educated buyers....However, we still get those new members, their first post is: Help! I just bought a pup and it's sick.

So, we never stop educating........somethings are repeated over and over again and they need to be.

Wolves - Hens whatever, keep up the good work.
