I see most of you are telling me to back out, but unfortunately, I think my mom will be offended if I do. I have look up more about this breeder, and she gave me references that all have very nice things to say about her, but of course this could be biased.
I guess my question now is, what diseases can you not detect at an early age? I found that most 1 year breeder's health guarantee only takes into account serious genetic problems that have to do with major organs. I don't think IBS or luxating patella are covered by any breeder from what I can tell. Would my vet be able to tell if the puppy likely has a major problem from the exam visit? Also, are there any genetic tests I could do for the yorkie. The breeder mentioned she would be willing to extend the health guarantee until I got results from any genetic testing, but I don't know what the tests are for/how much they cost. |
