What sort of health problems would a puppy mill Affenpinscher be prone to?

I hope you are not considering supporting a puppy mill by buying one of the poor animal from there.Puppy mills produce weak animals that are prone to all kinds of problems as they grow up.

If she knew it was a puppy mill to the person above me why would she buy it? durf?

Reputable, responsible breeders make every effort to "breed out" the health problems associated with their breed.Puppy mill puppies would be more prone to health problems.Here are the health problems Affenpinschers are prone to:"There are some breed specific medical issues you should investigate. Toy dogs are prone to several injuries because of their small size and a combination of genetic circumstances. Bone fractures occur often. The front legs seem to be the site of highest incidence, although not exclusively. Oligdontia (too few or too small teeth) is on the list.Number one as far as recorded occurrence: is patellar luxation, or sliding in and out of place with the knee assembly. It can cause degrees of damage from dog to dog. The worst cases of luxation require surgery to prevent crippling pain and arthritic changes. Other orthopedic problems include Legg-Perthes disease and Canine Hip Dysplasia (once thought to only affect large breeds) that have a distinct impact on the breed. There is an inherited tendency for hernias in some lines of Affenpinschers, as well as some endocrinology issues like hypothyroidism, and impaired immune systems. Some lines have tendencies to develop sebaceous cysts as well.Opthalmic disorders include: early onset cataracts, corneal ulcerations, and rarely, glaucoma. Some of the gravely serious conditions include the cardiac problems. In the late1980's an informal survey was done within the Affenpinscher Club of America regarding health problems in Affens. The number one condition cited was patellar luxation, the number two listing was "heart problems." In attempting to identify some of the heart conditions, I have seen necropsy reports citing: PDA (present at birth and correctible by surgery), Prolapsed Mitral Valve, Cardiomyopathy, and a few others. Liver Shunts have been reported, and are also in the fatal category, though some are milder, operable, and/or treatable. Veterinary texts list von Wildebrand (a potentially fatal bleeding disorder) in the Affenpinscher also."http://www.affenrescue.org/whatyouneedtoknow.htm#health
