IF THIS IS THE CASE - THEN I DON'T FEEL THE OWNER OF THE BITCH IS ENTITLED TO A PENNY (OR EITHER PUPPY, OR A REPEAT BREEDING)!! I would have to agree here . I would be interested in knowing why the medical condition is not divulged, and if it is not that important, why apparently the stud dog owner feels it is important enough to merit caring for the little one. Wonder what the rest of the story is...... We may never know.
