Well I am not sure how its done in America but here in Iceland you buy a dog knowing its a life creature who can at any moment die, just like you and I.
Some breeders give the owner a new puppy but I think that is not common.
We had a Labrador who died of a heart attack when he was 10 months old.
We did not ask for a new dog or a refund, we told the breeder about this. S**t happens you just go on with your life.
Dogs die thats a fact we always hope that they live a long and happy life but sometimes that is not the case. You buy your dog knowing this and its not the breeders fault if the dog dies.
Not unless he has been withholding some info on the dogs health status. But in this case the owner of the dog knew about the bad reaction to the shots.
You can get auto immune diseases with out having any in you family, and they come out of nowhere, I have been healthy all my life until I got 24 then all of a sudden I am very sick from all kinds of auto immune diseases.
Just saying that dogs are live animals.. And they are hard to guarantee.
Thats why I sell my dogs with live and health insurance. That way if anything happens the owner seeks there claim from the insurance company not me.
Of course I am very sorry for the owners loss, but this comes with owning a live animal, they die.
