We got the health certificate, the note from the vet is that it looked like healing excoriations (scratches) with some flaking. We will pick her up tomorrow! Definitely was worth the price tag for the reassurance.

As an update, I spoke with the breeder again and she agreed to bring the pup to a vet this week and get a "health certificate". She said the bumps are mostly gone now. We will get to see the pup again on the weekend when we go pick her up. Hopefully all goes well.

Replying late but our B had this problem for quite a while. It's called bilious vomiting syndrome. Usually the vomit is yellow foam in the morning when they have an empty stomach. Our vet suggested feeding 3 meals through the day with the last meal as late in the evening as possible and then the moment they wake up, feed them right away, even just a spoonful is good. Our B had this issue on and off for a good 4 months before it eventually going away, the feeding very first thing in the morning seemed to help. She's 9 months now and it still happens occassionally, the last time was when we forgot to feed her dinner the night before. She's otherwise totally healthy.

Thanks for the responses everyone. The puppy is currently 9 weeks old. We will have another chance to see the puppy this weekend when we plan to pick it up. We like that puppies temperment and coloring, so yes we feel a bit attached, but all the points are well taken. We will re-inspect it then. We expect that each puppy may have their own health concern, we just want to make sure we're not dealing with something major that will turn into something bigger down the road. I was looking for reassurance from others, particularly breeders, that this was something common, but from what i've heard, it doesn't seem like this is a normal occurence. We will be bringing the puppy to the vet the day after we plan to take it home, so hopefully will get mor answers there and we will discuss with the breeder about the what-ifs. Any other advice is greatly welcome, thank you!
