Ok I have question from a friend of mine, it's long so here goes.
This lady researched and researched and purchased her very first Dane from a highly recommended breeder ( here in Aussie ).
When she got the pup home she noticed she wasn't eating much but was drinking a lot, she mentioned it to the breeder and she said she just needs time to settle in.
Well she got worse and ended up in the vets, they ran tests and did ultrasounds and found she had a issue with her bowel and kidneys, and surgery was suggest. The pup was only 4.5mths, she contacted the breeder and she said " oh how upsetting for u, please keep us posted " well she had surgery and things slightly improved but then she started to go down hill again so back to the vets and they ran tests and it came back her liver was failing and ended up being put to sleep at 7mths of age.
Another female from the same litter had the same issue and was put to sleep at 6mths.
My friend wants to know what the breeders responsibility should be in this situation?
Would the fact she did back to back breedings contributed to this?
She is hoping the breeder will help contribute to some of the expenses and possibly get a refund as she just isn't ready to get another pup, this whole experience has devasted her.
As a breeder, what would u do? And why?
Again I'm in Aussie so u won't know the breeder that's why I thought I would ask here.
