Yorkie witha Hernia

[Hoggbond]

We are planning on buying a yorkie soon. The breeder we are seeing was very honest about her female. She said that the puppy we are thinking about buying had a hernia. It was operated on when she was 3 months old. Something about a pin hole in the intestine. The puppy is now 7 months old. She says she has had it checked by the vet, and okay'd by the vet.

Is this a wise purchase for us? Once a hernia is operated on, is it cured for life??? Can you say a hernia won't ever come back??? We really need some advice, as this is an important decision for us. Thanks for anybodys help.

Twinkie had a hernia that was repaired when she was spayed. She is almost 4 and is very healthy.
