I haven’t read all your posts and don’t know who your breeder is. I am extremely sorry your dog is having all these health problems.
Having said that, I totally disagree disagree with a BYB being better to buy from than a good, ethical breeder. You can’t put everyone in the same bag.
Is your breeder truly an ethical one ? One who does all required health testing ? Did she make one mistake, a series of mistake ? If pups from the same litter are having the same health issues, maybe it was something that couldn’t be tested. And hopefully these dogs were removed from her breeding plan.
But, again, you can’t condemn all breeders because of one breeder’s situation, no matter how bad it is. We’ve seen horror stories from supposedly good show breeders but they are not the norm.
Buying from a BYB is ALWAYS a mistake. Buying for a good, ethical breeder is the best way to ensure a physically and mentally healthy dog.
I hope your baby gets better soon.
