 Possible Heart Murmur
Hi y'all! I'm new to the forum but I have a serious dilemma. I've always wanted a yorkie since I was a teenager. My husband is in the military and we recently PCS'd and after finishing nursing school, and setting up our new home my husband and I came to the decision that we can add another dog to the family(we have a 14 month old english bulldog). Since I will be a stay at home mom to our 5 year old son. I found an excellent breeder through my neighbor who had a litter born in May. I was able to pick the puppy I wanted(a female) and put my deposit down for the pup. The breeder gave me a call today and informed me she took the pups for a check up a few weeks ago and was informed by the vet that she heard a slight murmur coming from my future puppy. The breeder took the pups for their 8 week check up and vaccinations yesterday and was told by the vet that she did not hear the murmur anymore. I have already fallen in love with this little girl! The breeder advised she has a check up on the 29th of this month to verify whether or not the murmur Is there. The breeder has offered to refund the deposit or give me pick of a little boy pup I also had my eye on if there is something wrong with the female. If there is nothing wrong with the female I would love to have her and of course I will take her to our on post vet to verify her health within 48 hours of picking her up. My question(s) is/are:
1. Should I pass on this puppy and the male since she seems to already be experiencing issues and get my deposit back?
2. Should I get the male pup who is completely healthy and was my second choice ?
3. Should I just wait til the check up on the 29th and go from there?
*I have called the breeders vet and she verified everything that the breeder told me regarding the female puppy* |
