This situation is not unique, we see it happen again and again on YT. The fact that the OP knows better but chooses to ignore what he knows. He says he got the puppy "for a steal" and had put down half already. I going to just go and guess he put down $250. I would still walk away. That's a drop in the bucket if the pup gets sick. Just an office visit is already $40, bloodwork $100, meds easily $50, that's about $200 already right there, for
one visit to the vet. LS surgery? who out there wants to share how much that costs, plus the last minute flight to UT to get it done?
As for those who say it's ignorance on the part of the breeder and not abuse, what about the 100s and 1000s of dogs that are put down every day bc there are too many dogs being bred and not enough good homes for them? Supporting bybs
directly contributes to the number of pets put down every day! an otherwise good home could have saved one instead they end up purchasing a puppy rather than rescuing or adopting one. Don't say there are no good ones out there or no puppies, that is just not the truth!
