I'm with everyone else... DO NOT buy a dog at that price with LP & is 1 1/2 yrs old!! Why are they selling a dog that old for that price anyway?? I obviously don't understand that high of a price because I have rescued all 4 of mine & have never paid over $265 for a purebred!
One of mine has stage 3 LP.The rescue found out after I sent my deposit, when they took this little 3 yr old puppy mill momma in for her final shots, micro chip & to be spayed. They told me before I came to pick her up. They even had their vet give a printed estimate on the cost of her surgery for me so there would be no surprises. They gave me a chance to back out or reduce the cost. I took the reduced price & gave her a good home. I paid only $100 for this little angel, & she has turned out to be better than any of the yorkies that I've owned!! She has not shown any symptoms, since she only weighs 3 lbs, but once she does, I will have no problem paying the cost for her surgery.
Please think long & hard before purchasing a dog of that high of a price with a major health issue such as that. Find a closer breeder who can give you a health guarentee or adopt. The options are endless. Don't settle for this one!! |
