On September 21st I was given my wirehaired vizsla puppy or 9 weeks directly by Nancy Edmunds owner proprietor of Vizcaya Vizslas. I was led to believe she is a responsible breeder to the extent she shares such thoughts on her website and verbalizes them in emails and by phone. Sadly that is where it ends. In the paperwork she e-mails her new dog owners you would find; breeding practice ethics of her own, vaccination do's and don'ts, and more. One of her documents advises her new puppy owners to have a fecal float test. Per her request I had this done at my own cost even after spending an exuberant amount, $1,400.00 to be exact not including trip there to get him. It was discovered upon vet review and testing his ears were very gooped up with debris and such and required a thorough cleaning as well and more serious the puppy had an isospora parasite/Coccidia. As you can imagine I now had to pay additional for more fecal testing and medication for him, as well as my older dog requiring a fecal testing as they live under the same roof and share the same grounds for relieving themselves. As you may know this parasite is picked up through the nursing of the mother who has it and/or the grounds, which they reside, not bring cleaned adequately--make up your own mind about her kennel upkeep. When alerting Nancy Edmunds about this she did not act surprised nor offer to assist in the costs in a responsible fashion. We inquired if she would do so and she agreed to in writing. After 6 weeks of waiting for response or reimbursement after sharing all vet invoices and receipts as requested by the breeder, we finally get a lengthy email agreeing only to pay for medication for $23 when in fact all testing and vet visit costs were well over $150. Unbelievable! read more
