Our new puppy was diagnosed with severe heart murmur at the vet's examination when we brought her home. She will be having open heart surgery at the end of this month, at considerable cost. Our breeder offered to take her back, but we were already so attached to her, so the breeder gave us our money back, toward the operation. Health insurance was out of the question though.
If the operation is successful (it's risky because of her weight), she will live a long and healthy normal life.
Good luck with your decision!
I hope she does ok please keep us updated. I always fear with breeders unless there really amazing that will just put the pup to sleep if you give them back because of a health issue.
