200 atta girls to that breeder!!! She certainly did the right thing! I got a little girl years ago from a breeder with the same ethics....she pointed the inguinal hernia out to me, said it may eventually even go away (which it did close and went away), but she told me to check with my vet, see what my vet would charge for corrective surgery, and she lowered the price on the puppy, plus a little more to cover any post op meds, etc......The hernia did resolve, surgery was not needed, and I have never forgotten the ethicis and honesty and integrity of that precious little elderly breeder.....found out years later she was a very well known and well respected breeder/shower/AKC judge..... |
