Hey everyone, I will make a proper introduction a little later..... ATM I have a quick questions for everyone.
My girlfriend and I just picked up our first English... Shes 7 weeks old right now.
The breeder we picked her up from was showing us the litter and we noticed one little girl that looked a little different.
The breeder told us that she had an "enlarged retina" (one of her eyes is about the size of a nickle and the other is completely normal ), and that their vet told her to put the pup down because no one would want it ( not because it was painful or life threatening). The breeder obviously refused once the vet told her it wasnt life threatening... and that worst case scenario,the eye would have to be removed.
They were selling the other pups in the little for $1200... and we got ours for $200. so we understood that we were buying a "scratch and dent" puppy from the get go. Everything else about her seems ok... she looks healthy, still has tonnes of energy and actually is the biggest pup out of the litter ( so far )
I just wanted to find out from any owners who have gone through the same thing... or know about this problem... What are my options ???
Thanks for anyhelp !!!
