At this point I do not think the breeder cares. When we contacted her regarding Abby's condition she was somewhat sympathetic because we were face to face and she saw how sick Abby was. Well, she changed her tune a few hours after and even questioned why I had taken her to ER vet when she was sick w/ coccidia
. I think we made a mistake by not doing our research with this lady but we fell in love with Abby immediately and wanted a puppy for so long. What's done is done and I know my Abby is not a mistake. There is a reason she was put in my care and I will do my best to take good care of her. What is really scary is that the breeder offered to "replace" Abby with a puppy from a new litter she had. I said absolutely not since Abby's dad is also the father of the new litter AND Abby's mom and the litters mom are SISTERS
. I think breeder is in it for money
I wish she knew how much agony she has caused a poor little puppy and her family.
