So very sorry,I hate those grooming arms! this not the first time I have heard of this happening It would have been just terrible for the groomer as well they would not forgive themselves. Which no joy for you a your precious one,it is so hard to bear and so careless of the groomer Love to you. keep the memories safe in your heart' God bless keep strong.

Thanks for all your answers, I can understand the delimma but but as a breeder where does it end does the owner come back in a few years time with an arthrtic problems and then want more money. Cost of pup was a thousand dollars, as I said it is not so much monies it what comes after this could efect anyone who is a breeder whether it is dogs ,cats horses guinea pigss. I guess the Consumer protection says that you have to take the emotion out of it and treat as you would a Fridge or washing machine. Slipping Patella is in all small breeds according to Google it is only by an accident or damage of some kind it can happen , ( not proven as an inheridted disease). My Vet said that it should not have been operated on because it was too young. I am willing to refund the price of the pup, but is that admitting fault, no-one likes big vet bills and I am sorry for her but I did plead with her to see my vet whom I have dealt with for over thirty years, she chose to go elswhere. So the solution: Shu-tup and pay up and hope it doesn't go any futher. Get the owner to sign a document to the effect that I wiil not be up for any more claims. Shurely some in the Dog world would have face this problem

I have a problem with a owner of one of my pups,which has developed slipping patella problems at ten month, I referred to my Vet but owner went elsewhere, she has had the dog operated on,vet fees 5000.00.( my vet quoted 1700.00. Owner wants me to refund her the price of the puppy, to .help with charges. But will it end there? Consumer Protection says owner is entitled to Refund, Repair or Replace,which I am prepared to do,but I should be able to claim the dog back. What do people think, I would appreciate import
