That isn't necessarily true. Those vet checks ups don't immediately show everything. When I got my puppymill girl Bijou, I took her for her check up immed. The puppymill breeder had already mentioned the kennel cough and sent some Clavimox with me. She didn't call it kennel cough, just a little cold. According to her papers the pup had been wormed and UTD on shots. Within a week I noticed her stools becoming loser which prompted a fecal exam. It was then found she had worms and coccidia. To make a long story short I am still paying vet bills and treating all her ailments. Do I blame the puppymill? Absolutely. I was not sold a healthy dog by any means. Could all of this been found out during that first vet exam? Nope. Doesn't mean I wasn't ripped off. |
When I took Marley to the vet I was cautioned about a soft spot on his head that the vet thought may be dangerous, but wouldnt be able to tell without some kind of brain scan. $$$$$ When I called the breeder they told me he was check by our vet and he doesnt think anything is wrong. I asked them if they did the scan. No, that isnt normal proceedure. I was told I would have to pay for the exam myself, but cautioned me I was still under the same 48hr rule. Well it was already the 2nd day so if I had the scan the next day I was S.O.L!
The vet said I could wait to see if it developed or not without the scan but by the time I that happens I wouldnt be able to do anything about getting money back ect.
Some things are caused by genetics and do not come up until later. When you run so many dogs thru your facility you could be breeding relatives and causing lots of problems. Also BCK is bringing the majority of their dogs in from all over the world. Which means they dont even know what the genitic line is.
100s of dogs a year is WAY too many. period.
