Received a pup from Kraftwerk K9 that has been diagnosed with Inquinal Hernia. What will happen to the pup if returned to the kennel.
Since it is a genetic condition and the rest of the litter?

they will try to find another owner for the puppy.
the rest of the litter may or may not not be physically effected, but may carry the genetics.

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES KRAFTWERK K9 HAVE IT'S SHARE OF PROBLEMS(GENETIC OR OTHERWISE) WITH THEIR DOGS?

Lovejags,
In my opinion, I think that no breeding program that has been in existance for many years, is without problems... Its the ones that don't try to take care of the unhappy buyers and their problems, are the ones we hear about....It just so happens to be the same ones over and over....The other just do the ethical thing right away, than there is no need for an unhappy buyer to go public with it....The problem has been solved, and we, as the public, never hear about it....JMO

I think you mean umbilical hernia. I've never heard of a dog having an inguinal hernia, which occurs in the area of the scrotum. Is this possible?

Umbilical hernias are fairly common, and small ones sometimes close on their own.

Also to ad.....not all hernias are related to genetics......it can be fairly common, and happen in litters from all bloodlines.
An "over diligent" mother can cause a small umbilical hernia.

Are Umbilical Hernia's heredity or because to mother bites the cord too close?

Inquinal Hernia was the diagnose by two vets at my end and was on the Health Certificate for shipping. Kraftwerk was aware of the problem prior to shipping
Inquinal Hernia is serious and can cause the death of the pup.
The rest of the litter was either sold or remove from pups for sale

Having repaired inguinal hernias on two of three puppies in a litter of Standard Poodles which were surrendered to rescue I assure they do indeed occur in dogs and are much more expensive to repair. Theses poor puppies ot only had inguinal hernias but also bilateral entropian. Fortunately I got the whole litter and both parents all of whom were altered and placed in loving companion homes.
