I agree completely Didles!! While these are living, breathing little bundles of joy, the breeder is willing to take thousands of dollars in exchange for a pup, making it a business transaction. To hand over faulty (sick) goods and not offer refund or reimbursement of expenses is completely disgusting!! You do the deed, you deserve everything that comes after, including the damage to your reputation. I think it's wrong that they can't be named and shamed...protect other buyers who might be handing over $3000-$4000 of their very hard earned money.
