To you, lashesbyjennie...."This was suppose to be on Monday but when he went to the vet, the breeder told me he had a slight temperature and with the weather it be best they dont fly him out. He has another appointment on wednesday to see if he can be flown out after."

You may not have been given the entire truth here.....the WEATHER had NOTHING to do with that baby flying out...the vet "CAN NOT CLEAR THE BABY ON A HEALTH CERTIFICATE REQUIRED BY THE AIRLINES TO SHIP A PUPPY, IF IT IS SICK, AND THAT INCLUDED RUNNING A FEVER, ETC." That is why your baby was not shipped to you...he didnt pass his medical, required to fly! I would make ABSOLUTELY SURE that puppy is NOT coughing before you accept him....and like in the other case, I would want the breeder to pay for vet bills incurred to treat this kennel cough...be sure you get that pup checked by your vet within the time frame stipulated in your contract....I would have him at the vet the day he flew in or by the next day.....you do not want to give the breeder "wiggle room" to get out of accepting responsibility for treating this sick pup....
I get absolutely crazy when breeders ship or sell sick babies to unsuspecting new owners, and just pass it off as some simple little thing.....You are entitled to receive a healthy baby! You would not buy a car that had a broken transmission, or a dishwasher that leaked water when it ran...dont accept a sick baby without these breeders being held accountable!!!!
