It has been an honor these past 5 years to care for him, be responsible for his upkeep and vet care. I think as dog owners we all accept these responsibilities willingly. It is easier on the pocketbook though when the dog you accept from someone is already an adult, has had all health certs.

Hi Sherri, I disagree. If someone offered to give you a house, free of charge and you looked at the house and said, yes! I'll take it!! Then, 4 years down the road after you'd enjoyed the home, part of the roof blew off and caused water damage inside, would you go back to the person who gave you

NO ! I don't think that would be very fair to the breeder. You take a dog into your home , you're responsible after that. If my daughter came up with a health problem , I sure wouldn't ask the powers that be to pay for it ! However , I think the breeder should be upfront about any KNOWN health
