regarding puppy with hernia I am planning on getting a new puppy this weekend and I am very excited. But the only thing is he originally cost $1200 but his testicles never desenced and he has a small hernia which needs to be removed at the same time as well. The breeders said that they would take $200 off the price becuase of the hernia but I was wondering if you think that is a good deal or if they should take off more? Plus if they should pay a portion or more of the surgery needed. We plan to have their vet do the surgery because he is familar with their dogs and with yorkies. If you could please let me know what you think that would be great! Thanks guys! |
i would say no......... i got toby for $500 and he is healthy as a horse, i would never pay so much for a puppy with problems to begin with.... im sure you can find a puppy for 1000 that is papered and 100% HEALTHY for the price you are going to pay for one with a hernia ....... get another puppy there are plenty of them out there, 200 is not enough to knock off the price if anything he should be more like $400....... deffinatly no 1000...... |
If the price of the breeders pups are 1200 then I don't think its unfair to discount 200 to help cover the cost of neutering and repair. Of course it depends on how much the surgery costs, I don't know what the extra cost would be. You could ask the breeder to have it done prior to picking up the pup and pay the normal 1200 plus the cost of a normal neutering. Normal neutering is a cost you would incur in either case. |
hernia Sometimes a hernia will happen. I have had navel hernia's in a few pups over the many years. What I do is deduct the cost of the hernia repair done at spay/neuter time. I talk to the new puppy owners vet and ask them what they are going to charge, put it in their file and in 4 to 5 months it is done. I , also offer to have my vet do the surgery if it is a huge difference. Not much experince with pups not having both testicules in place by 6 months..but I would pay for the extra surgerical fees if it happened. |
