about Canine Distemper
We bought a 10 week old Shih Tzu puppy from a local breeder. She died of apparent distemper on Dec. l0. She was not vaccinated by the bree
breeder but we took her in the day after we got her. Is the breeder liable under the puppy lemon law? He says she must have contracted it here but she was never exposed to any other dogs. He did take the remaining pups for vaccinations AFTER we told him our our dogs death.

If they are trustworthy and honest they should give you back your money.
How long was this puppy under your roof? If the timeline is very short (less than a month) then I would expect the breeder to refund your money.
You can always take them to small claims court and try and get your money back that way.
This is yet another reason why I don't go to breeders for dogs. It's even hard to tell who is a responsible breeder that cares about what they do, and who is in it just for the money.
I'm sorry for you loss.
