I'm very sorry for your loss of Max.

I think it would be okay to ask that the other party pay for that days veterinary bills.

It would be unethical to collect the amount that the first owner paid for the dog. You should only be able to collect what YOU paid to acquire the dog (if anything).

While the dog shouldn't be bred, being CKC doesn't diminish his value. People will pay a ton of money for a dog that is CKC measured. All that matters is what the market would pay, not what you think about the registry(justified).
