Re: Hey from Teeka the Shih.
Oh what a shame this has happened after getting your hopes up. The poor wee pup should have been wormed regularly, what a shame for them. If the breeder hasn't even been doing that, I'd worry about what else may have been neglected and I'm afraid I probably would have taken her back too.
It's one thing having unexpected medical costs (it happens with all dogs) but I'm afraid I wouldn't knowingly take on a pup that (would seem to be) more likely to have problems.
Hopefully you won't let this bad experience get you down, just keep on the look out, and do your research before comitting to a pup. At least now you know an important question to ask! (which I certainly didn't when I got my first shiddie, I was just lucky that she was from a lovely breeder!)

Re: Hey from Teeka the Shih.
I've just found out from another person who got a supposed 'pure bred shihtzu' that her pup died from Parvo Virus 3 days after getting him.
I'm absoloutly appauled. Did I mention for dinner he feeds her Weetbix and COWS MILK?!
Sigh..

Re: Hey from Teeka the Shih.
" longdesc="61" /> that's just awful! What a shame for the person who's puppy died, and what a shame for Teeka...that's up there with one of Stu'd cousins who went to see a litter of Labradors, and for dinner they got the left over cakes from the bakery the owner ran!
It really does make you
