Dogs from these sources commonly have kennel cough due to exposure in contaminated environments before he developed his too young immune system. |

It still should be covered under puppy lemon laws. It's sick. Otherwise consider swallowing the vet bill. Your puppy needs a vet. |

Your puppy needs a vet. The person/company that you purchased the puppy should be responsible for the vet bill. But they may demand you see their vet if they are going to cover it (under the puppy lemon laws) Some puppy diseases acquired in puppy mills may be fatal, and it's imperative that you contact the seller ASAP. Getting on this now, instead of talking about it to strangers on the internet should take priority |

I don't think many people in the US are familiar with costs over there or breeding culture, which I understand is much more strict than it is in the US (although "puggle" isn't a breed and so there aren't real breed clubs or breeder's codes of ethics) .. Anyway, I'd 1) definitely get the puppy to a vet; when a young puppy gets sick things can potentially go very wrong very quickly, and 2) definitely let the breeder know what's up and see if they'll cover all or some of the veterinary expenses. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

I don't think many people in the US are familiar with costs over there or breeding culture, which I understand is much more strict than it is in the US (although "puggle" isn't a breed and so there aren't real breed clubs or breeder's codes of ethics) Getting a little off-topic here, but: I'm not familiar with vet costs in Germany, but am reasonably familiar with the breeding culture there. Germany's somewhat unique in that it's the breed clubs that register dogs and not the VDH (Verband fur das Deutsche Hundewesen, the German equivalent of the AKC). And yes, some of the breed clubs have quite strict breeding regulations. However... just as in the US, this hasn't stopped people from founding their own breed clubs/registries that aren't affiliated with the VDH when their dogs don't prove up to snuff by breed club standards or when they want to create "new breeds". Witness the "Waeller" - a mix of (I kid you not) Briard and Australian Shepherd. And yes, they have their own "breed club" - see http://www.waellersam.de/. I know about this in part because my beloved girl Patience (for those of you who don't remember her, she was AKC Ch. CKC ptd Nightwind Impulsive Shopper HX ATDd OTDs STDc OA NAJ OAC OJC NGC RS-O JS-O GS-N CGC TT OFA OFA-EL CERF HOF - R.I.P, baby girl) was invited to become part of the founding stock of this new, er, "breed". And I actually DECLINED! (What WAS I thinking?!) But back to the main point: yes, there are fools born every minute all over the world, it seems. Anyway, I'd 1) definitely get the puppy to a vet; when a young puppy gets sick things can potentially go very wrong very quickly, and 2) definitely let the breeder know what's up and see if they'll cover all or some of the veterinary expenses. Ditto all of this. Dianne |

I didn't realize that dogs are registered with the clubs - that's really interesting. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
