Tia update My husband took Tia to the vet and unfortunetly it is not a dislocated hip but rather a congenital defect that is now showing up because she has grown. He also found a luxating patella in the same leg developed. He is consulting with another vet regarding surgery that will be necessary. I am so mad at her breeder because I paid top dollar for her and knew she wasn't from a good line when I received her (another reason never to buy on the internet!) but we fell in love with her regardless and now she's the one who has to go thru this because her breeder (Tammy Hernandez from Arkansas) was just out to make $2000.00!!!!! Til this day she never sent me the promised AKC papers either!! I know I was wrong for buying sight unseen and believe me I NEVER will again!!! |
Did she come with a 1 year guarantee? And how old is she. Mine is guaranteed for 1 year for congenital defects. |
She did but I can't even get the breeder to give me papers or take my calls or emails! |
That's rotten! Hope she recovers fully soon. |
You may want to check with UPenn in Philly...they have some of the best vets in the country and are doing wonderful things to improve procedures. Best of luck to you. |
I'm So Sorry... Keep at the breeder. Don't let her get away with this. If anything good comes out of your horrible situation, is maybe you can stop her from doing it to someone else. Check out Puppy Lemon Laws in her state. |

If your dog is registered with the AKC, report her to them!! As long as you have proof that you paid for the dog and she still hasn't gotten you the papers, I'm sure the AKC will help. They have "ways" of doing things. I hope you didn't pay cash, and if you did, I hope you have a receipt. AND a health guarentee. Anything that has a papertrail will help you get papers. If you didn't get a guarentee, I don't think they can help you out with that. Just keep bugging the breeder and keep copies of any and all correspondence you have with her. Good Luck with that. I hope you can get the vet work done at a reasonable price too. It really sucks when the breeders are just in it for the $$ and don't really care about the health of the pups, no matter how old they are!! |
