Sorry to hear about your dog. If you don't mind, what is the pedigree name of your pup or parents your pup is out of? You can PM if you prefer.
It’s seafxhable on NAVHDA. Only one litter whelped on 12/22, in December 2010 and you can search by the kennel or breeders name.
It really stinks but I don’t think it’s fair for OP to slam him on the web. A health guarantee is typically limited to what the breeder can control and prevent; hips, elbows, eyes... Nothing the OP presented said that Mr. Pallotta concealed or reneged or lied.
In fact, looking at the litters he’s whelped, I think OP has a nearly 8 year old dog. Even if the Dam or Sire developed epilepsy by seven or eight, that would be too late, as their breeding career would have been largely over. If either line had a history of epilepsy that the breeder knew of, that might be a fair complaint.
Are you saying his lines have a susceptibility to epiliepsy that other PP lines don’t? Or that a preponderance of his dogs more than other PPs have ccl tears?
But spending any amount of money on a dog, from a $25 Pound Rescue to a $500 Craigslist Lab to a $2000 Bulgarian Frankenhund is no guarantee that the dog won’t get hurt or sick.
