I gave this dog away. He now has pancreatic condition that will last the dogs lifetime. Just a little icing on the cake, huh? He will never reach his weight potential of what a male Shiloh should be. You are a breeder? Figures. You know nothing about me and the circumstances surrounding the purchase of this dog. Along with the physical problems, Lisa Barber will lock you out of phone and emails when there is a problem. I am out $3000 PLUS I get the pleasure of your rudeness. My kids didn't get to have any pleasure from this dog for the time we had him because he was so full of bacteria he never stopped having diarrhea while I had him. I did everything correctly as far as vets and when to do it. Get over myself? You lose $3000 and have everyone tell you that you were wrong in the situation when a PROFESSIONAL breeder (I thought) sells you a sick dog that will never get well. You people need to get over your selves as judge and jury and pretending you have such a wonderful breed. AVOID NEW ZION SHILOHS AT ALL COST!!

I am sorry, but it sounds like you made some poor choices. Yes the puppy had a genetic defect, and being's its pretty rare, I am sure she didn't even know what was wrong with him.
Its called a Dermoid. Its almost like a tumor.. you might not even notice it if it where not for the hairs growing over time. I have had this happen in a litter of puppies, this is how I know about it. My puppy was also already sold, and I thought he had shavings in the eye.. I examined it closer and seen the hairs.. googled and found out what it was.. went to my Vet.. he gave me 2 options.. go to the specialist or let him try.. I opted to let my Vet go ahead and do the surgery.. It went well, and only cost me $300. This happened 1 time, in 40 years of breeding.. so rare !!
If your Vet wanted to charge you $3000, he either has major ovehead and your Vet bills in your area are super high.. or he thinks your a dummy. Your complaining about the price yet you didn't do the surgery..
Its a buyers responciblity to have a puppy checked within a certian amount of time after having it home, if you didn't do that I feel you waved your rights to compain about the breeder. Are you unaware of pet health insurance ? You don't get compinsated for taking care of 'Your' dog. That's rediculous for you even to ask for $1000 for the 'time and care' .. get over yourself. You got a pet dog, the dog is still a pet dog that your family got to enjoy. If you choose to sell it, that's also your choice and probably better for the dog. To me it seems your sorry you got a live animal that needed care.. just petty (smh).
