Open fontanel I just bought a champion sired female and just realized she has an open fontanel. The breeder knew about this, but didn't inform me. Would this be a defect which is a breach of contract? Thanks. |
I dont think so .. did you purchase a quite small baby ? the smaller a puppie the higher the chances for a soft spot .. I have had a few who have this ..I tend to hold them back longer so they have a chance to grow smaller and I always tell the new owners to be careful .extra careful if its huge I would talk to your vet and the breeder My vet told me that when ppl are looking for a "" tea cup they usto look for a soft spot as a sign that the puppie would be a tiny representation of the breed . The breeder should of told you ... did she have the puppies vet checked?? a decent vet wouldnt of missed that |
Hello, I do not know what your contract says or if you are planning to have the puppy as just a pet, but that problem would only be acceptable by a buyer in my opinion, only as a pet (as a non-breeding/non-showing dog). If you plan to breed or show, I personally would not keep it and pass the problem along. :rose: |

Another thing, I'm curious if her parents have the same problem and is passing along to their puppies. Should I address this problem to the original breeder? |

i agree with Betty. This puppy or adult does need to ne returned to the breeder especially if you are wanting something to breed. If you want to keep her for a pet, then I would insist that the breeder return some of your money. Half of it at least and then have her spayed. (the dog, not the breeder LOL) Some open fonts take up to a year to close and some never do . |
An open font is not always genetic. I am aware of many show lines and dogs that contain them, most of which have not passed them on to their offspring. Most close up by one year, sometimes two years. How large is the open font in your 14-month-old? Different breeders and different vets will all tell you different things. I don't believe you have any recourse 'legally' against the person you bought her from since she is an adult. Why don't you just ask if you can return her based on this, and that you feel uncomfortable? If she won't take her back then you will have to make a decision yourself based on your own research and your vets opinion about whether or not to breed her. |
