I honestly don't know, my mother is taking her back tomorrow. The breeder wanted to keep her in the first place. And no, we didn't get one on a whim, like I said, its something my parents have been considering for years, but they certainly weren't planning on taking a pup that had a whole lot of health problems off the bat. We used to raise shelties, but we haven't for years. So i wasn't sure what options, (if any) we had with this pup. I don't want to take her back, neither does my mother, I've been trying to keep her from crying.

I asked her about sheltie rescue, she says she's checked it out already, but the dogs are old. (At least the ones she checked out were.) I even asked my friends who work at the local shelters to keep an eye out for a sheltie for me for a long time. We thought we lucked out with this breeder. Oh well. It wasn't meant to be with this pup.
