If a breeder does not honor her contract, she is not reputable.

Even online, her posted buyer agreement (which has red flags galore and should send any potential purchaser running) states if a puppy dies before a year of age due to a congenital defect, diagnosed as such by an autopsy, a replacement puppy will be provided. (Again a red flag here, as any legitimate breeder understanding the devastating emotional toil such events has on a pet owner routinely provides EITHER a replacement puppy OR a full refund, at the BUYERS preference).

The pup died at less than a year of age. Michigan State Veterinary labs (a premiere laboratory & research facility in the nation) diagnosed it as a congenital liver disease. The breeder should not have to be dragged to the plate to step up to her end of the agreement. That this situation escalated to this point due to breeders negligence in promptly addressing the problem, speaks volumes to her lack of character, in my opinion.
