Question
I AM BUY  A10 WEEK OLD  SHITZU PUPPY WITH A HERNIA  AND THE BREEDER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL  AND OKY TO HAVE IS THIS TRUE. THANK YOU CARMEN

Answer
It might be normal for HER dogs, but it is not normal.  However, if it is minor, it is not something to worry about.  Make sure you are allowed to take the pup to the vet and can return the pup if the vet says this is a bad one.   Check it out right away before you get attached.  Most vets will fix that for around $100-125.  Ask if she will reduce the price or get it fixed before you take the puppy.
Just so you know,,,,,,When my puppy has a hernia, I either get it fixed or reduce the price.
