I think Barnaby probably has an humbilical hernia, I would double check with the breeder that this is the case. Theese hernias are normally something not harmful and they get surgically corrected at time of neutering. However it is entirely up to you wether you want to get Barnaby or not. In theory it is a congenital defect and therefore the breeder should offer a discount on the purchase.
