    MM> Would a dog breeder be liable to help pay for the costs of a hernia   
    MM> for a new puppy?   
      
   Assuming the puppy had the hernia while still at the breeder the breeder would   
   have   
   a moral responsibility.  AFAIK there's no legal responsibility.  Unless,   
   possibly, the   
   buyer took it immediately to a vet for an exam and found the hernia then.
