Whew! Just read the entire thread. I have tried to compose my thoughts so I do not respond with the passion I feel. I am so very sorry that poor puppy died and am so sorry for the OP who were prepared to love this baby and welcome him into their homes with open arms. This tragedy can occur to even the best of breeders which is why the best of breeders offer their health guarantees. I will not judge whether or not this breeder is one of the best, a horrible puppy mill, or somewhere in between. I will simply say that a horrible tragedy has occurred and that is what the health guarantee is all about. It is simple. It is black and white. It should be honored. Whether the breeder is sick and whether or not people should or not sympathize with the OP are immaterial. |
