I don't think one should automatically call someone a BYB (in the derogatory manner in which the name has become) just because their puppy got sick.
My experience with Royal Canin is just the opposite and that's why, in part, I like it: Nice firm stools - easy to dispose of. I've heard that from others as well, so that's where I'd red flag the breeder as someone less than honorable trying to pass off the food as the cause. However, until the cause is known it shouldn't automatically be assumed its the fault of the breeder.
We just got a new pup yesterday and she threw up three times on the trip home (1.5 hour car trip)...she was car sick, nothing more. She's fit as a fiddle right now.
Hopefully, her pup will be okay, but I agree with the others when they're so little these things happen. She didn't say how old the dog was, if it's a 12 or week old puppy, three pounds isn't that small.
