Sounds like a herniated belly button check with your vet it can be or it might be nothing depends on the size I hope this helps

I wouldn't begin to guess from your description what it is. If it is in your heart to do it, I would take it back. There are many people selling low quality puppies either out of greed or ignorance.

It could be a simple problem, or something that will break your wallet before breaking your heart. No sense paying for a defective puppy when there are so many fine ones around. One of the best sources for dogs with a predictable personality is the rescue
Dogs. These are dogs that lost their home, but were taken into a foster home
To be retrained as necessary and placed in the right home for them. You may
Find a rescue near you starting at American Kennel Club - Breed Rescue (http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm) The rescues charge a fee to help cover their expenses, but is much less than the price of a puppy plus all its medical expenses the first year. www.petfinders.org are not a careful about matching dogs to homes, but they have many more puppies.
