Turns out one of the pups from that mating has some issues as well. I hope the breeder is not continuing to breed the littermate now because I did tell her about the leggs-calves-perthes disease. It's upsetting still that she really does not care about Teddy, but we have moved on. I will say that Teddy is a beautiful and sweet dog despite his problems. |
This is just so heartbreaking, I know you really wanted to find a good breeder when you were looking for Teddy. I guess the "lists" didn't work for you at all. So sorry, but I've got to admit, I wonder what would have become of Teddy, if anyone else had purchased him.
