If I were in their position, I would've done the same, because a severe knee problem is not something to take lightly - it is painful as heck. If one of my pups had a severe knee issue (and, with Fozzie being a Corgi and from God-only-knows what kind of breeder, bad knees are a possibility), I would rather keep them calm for a few weeks & endure the sugery than allow that pain to continue.

Also, if you haven't already told them, they NEED to let the breeder "friend" know! She should NOT be breeding Chihuahua's that are so structurally unsound. Even if the breeder won't recompensate them (guessing she won't...) for the surgery, maybe telling her to stop breeding will save many more innocent puppies from the pain that your little girl had to go through.
Oh Yes, I told my daughter-in-law on the phone this morning., about the mentioned contract. Her friend from work is still breeding and selling Chihuahua dogs . While I am not one to stir up a stink, I feel obligated to speak up on behalf of her future buyers. My daughter-in-law was slient, on the other end of the line, when I told her about Proper Breeding and Professional Exchanges. Her friend from work needs to educate herself in this area. , I am inclined to think that she is only after the $$$$$$.
