Bare with me for a moment. I have copied extracts of what I feel is pertinent in this situation from www.ytca.org code of ethics, I have also copied the email response from the breeder in question.
First I believe if you wish a complaint can be made to ytca as she is a breeder member.
I have not found on the cerf database where any of her breeding dogs are listed as to being tested. I can better confirm this if you send to me the Registered names of both parents. Or you can look this up yourself.
If she has not tested either of these two dogs prior to breeding them together she is contravention of one of the codes of ethics.
If either of these two dogs are not AKC registered and or not registered with an acceptable foreign registry, then again she is in contravention of a code of ethics.
If this disease is indeed autosomal dominant (which I still can't verify), she is definitely in contravention of a code of ethic. How-ever your opthamologist can confirm the diagnosis.
Secondly it is hard to fathom how she would not notice and her vet would not notice this infection, on your pups last wellness exam prior to releasing him to your care.
So the question what is the date of his last examination on the health record you received from her vet? And can you confirm he has had 2 sets of inoculations.
All dogs sold to future owners should be health cleared first through the breeders vet, and then secondly through your own vet.

I hesitated before I posted my review, but now, I am so glad I posted it.
