Bichon Frise/Heart Murmur

Question
I took my 6 week puppy to the vet. Who said he has a grade I sqeaky murmur.  How serious is this?

Answer
First of all no reputable bichon breeder places a puppy before 12 weeks of age.   So you didnot get the puppy from a reputable breeder.   A vet could of easily found a problem like this before you purchased the puppy.  There are puppy lemon laws in every state.  I would ask your vet how serious a problem this is.
