My baby had AAI also I just had to have my little girl put to sleep this week. It was one of the most horrible days of my life. She was 5 and had AAI, I bought her from Natalie for $4,500. I will say, she was worth every penny only because I wouldn't trade a moment I had with her. However, AAI is horrible and it was not a possibility for her to have surgery and I had never heard of the condition before and didn't know any of her past puppies had this. Natalie was nice enough to offer me a highly discounted replacement puppy, I am not replacing my baby and my pain is too new to even think about it but she did offer.
I just wanted people to know, no matter how many years of experience a breeder may have, there still can be a problem. No matter how many things you think you know a breed can have health concerns over, there is a chance you don't know about a few. A breeder can also be a very kind, loving, nice person and still have some health concerns in their line though. |
