From the time I got my puppy, she was sick. We saw 5 different vets and she had two eye operations before she was even 7 mos. Old. At 9 mos. Old we spent the weekend with her as she was dying. That weekend our local vet got us to a top-notch vet hospital 90 minutes away, in New England. They finally figured out she was suffering from North American Blastomycosis, a slow growing systemic fungal disease non-existant in New England. Her lungs were covered in nodules & it was in her bloodstream, nervous system & organs. The disease is prominent in Missouri, where she was bred. No doubt she had this before I ever got her. We will have paid $10,000 in medical bills before we're done. After I contacted Purebred Breeders, they "reached out" to tell me they were so sorry I got unlucky. But, they also stated that take no responsibility that they took my money and sent me a diseased pup. Not sure that 'zippo responsibility' is ethical business although I imagine their lawyers have it tied up so they hold no legal responsibiity.
