Hi all , well i had a german shepherd puppy last thursday, she is 7 weeks old took her to vets today for her first vacines. i was told she has an unbilical hernia that is hereditry , and therefore he advised me to have her spayed at 6 months of age
. i bought her from a very well known breeder and paid £700 for her on the understanding i was going to show and poss breed her . please anyone what would you do , keep her and ask for some money back as £700 is a lot for a dog that may not be shown (as vet said ) . please any advise i would be truley thankfull im in a right mess here . thank you |

Have a polite word with the breeder & also see if they are prepared to take the pup the their own vet for a second opinion on your behalf.

Be honest with the breeder & explain all your concerns, if they are any decent sort, they will go out of their way to help...

Re: help please unbilical hernia help advise needed
Umbilical Hernias are usually nothing to worry about.
Some say they are inhereited,others say not. If it's only small some even disappear on their own,others may need a repair. Why not ring the Breeder and say you are concerned as the vet has picked up an hernia and ask for advice. She is only 7 weeks old,so it may very well disappear on it's own.

Breeders generally love their puppies as much as the new owners do and like to be kept informed of any possible problems.
