[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The breeder definitely should have told you. When we purchased a dog, he disclosed that the dog had a hernia and offered a discount.[/quote]

I was given a dog with a hernia -- and it was not disclosed in advance. I actually hadn't picked the dog up yet -- she had gone to a board and train program before she was to come home, and the trainer told me. I was very upset (much more so about feeling a lack of trust because of the breeder's failure to disclose it as opposed to concern about the hernia) and consulted with my vet who told me to return the dog and demand my money back. It got ugly and emotional, but eventually I got my money back. It wasn't about the money at all, and a hernia isn't necessarily a big deal at all either -- it was about lack of trust and my vet figuring out that this was a puppy mill and, upon her advice, not supporting it. It was hard. Not a good time at all.

But yeah, any little fault should be disclosed in advance by a reputable breeder. [/quote]
