I'm happy to say we had Lola's shunt repaired and she is doing fine 6+ years and thousands of dollars later. I think these are despicable brokers that do the very minimum for these poor pups and they very definitely support puppy mills. I would never, ever buy from them again and would warn anyone to RUN, not walk away from Fancypups.com!!!! |
You said it so well, and even if you can well afford the money, it's the emotional investment that can take a toll. While no breeder can absolutely guarantee a healthy pup, you can raise you chances dramatically by going to a breeder whose goal is raising healthy pups and who does health testing and knows the line 5 generations back on both sides.
