Do you even- lift?

	I wouldn't take either of her offers. Up to you whether you keep the one you have, but I wouldn't get another dog from that breeder even if it was free. Not worth the probable cost later on. As others have said, the Continental Kennel Club is a sham of a registry, and even American Kennel Club registration guarantees nothing about health or temperament. That breeder sounds all kinds of shady, and I wouldn't continue dealing with her except to see if she'll refund any of your money. Edited by author Fri Feb 15, '13 12:53pm PST

	Dr. Watson, that was what I was thinking...I really don't have the money like that to take care of a sick pup. I was thinking the same but I doubt if she'd give me my money back..she hasn't mentioned it once...She's only mentioned taking the pup in return for another on another litter..Maybe I'll mention that to her.

	I hate when this happens. It's like when you buy a puppy from a pet store. You become attached to the puppy and then discover something is wrong. I know we sign on to take care of our pets when adopt, rescue, or buy. However, I know those who try to buy a dog through a reputable AKC registered breeder expects their pet to be healthy and free of any illness/disease. It's a tough decision. I would find it hard to give the dog back, however, you have that choice. I personally would not want another dog from this breeder. When a breeder is questionable, i wonder what happens when the dog is given back I'm not helping much, but I do sympathize

	Scooter,-Paw That is actually how I feel..What will happen to her if I give her back, will she get as much care as I would.... Sounds like I shouldn't get another dog from her though. This is the second pup I bought from her, the first pup has no issue except for reverse sneezing issues but I think a lot of dogs have that...

	Ok so it is known that the parents have a genetic issue and shes offering you a pup from their next litter ? The parents should be getting spayed / neutered as well. "Pick of the litter" means NOTHING. It is a sham. It is a 'salesman' act. Unless you were getting a working dog, and had intentions of competing and showing, but you arent.. BTW the CKC (continental kennel club) is a scam. they're all in it for money. the reason people register with them is because their dogs are /mixed breeds/ and were denied from AKC or other registries because there was no proof the dogs were purebred. If you have a contract I'd start reading and see what it says about genetic defaults and if she offers money back.

	It sounds like you should at least get your deposit back. I wouldn't buy from a breeder who registered any of their dogs with the Continental Kennel Club, even if the pup you were going to get was AKC registered. No reputable breeder uses the Continental Kennel Club. And again, AKC registration means nothing except that the dog is purebred. It says nothing about health and nothing about temperament. Good breeders health test for genetic problems relevant to their breed (health certificate/vet checked/physical is not health testing), and breed for stellar temperaments. Sorry you've had a bad experience. There are a lot of smooth talking breeders out there who know how to say the right things. Best thing to do at this point is learn from the experience. As others have said, it would be hard to give up a dog you've become attached to, especially when you've had her for five months. Have you talked with your vet about how much treatment will cost? Some vets will do a payment plan. If you do decide to keep her, you might want to look into pet insurance. Edited by author Fri Feb 15, '13 2:49pm PST
