These are two totally different parents. Confusion sets in again. Everyone has made valid excellent points. Yes, I can afford to buy another pup from a reputable breeder. I really don't think the financial aspect of this scenario is what's at question though. You know, I could take this pup and it could be perfectly healthy or I could pay 1200 plus for another pup and it have multiple problems. It's really not an issue of rather or not I'm going to have a special needs pup, more of morals. I do just need time to think. I don't think the "price" of a pup always matters. From reading threads on YT, I have learned that paying 2300.00 for Bevo was basically robbery. I didn't know any better. I figured you get what you pay for. Obviously, not always the case! He apparently carries the gene for blues! I did speak with the breeder about selling her pups as pet only with no breeding rights. She didn't even know you could do this. She has a long way to grow as a breeder. I am not a breeder, just trying desperately to pass along the knowledge I have learned here!


I thought I had made a decision, but now, I'm back to square one. Thank you all again for shooting me with the facts, whether good or bad. I knew when starting this thread, some things may be hard to swallow, and I really appreciate everyone being totally honest with me.
