| I would get your baby established with a really good Vet. Maybe inquire around to people who have dogs and see what Vet. they use. Also find a good orthopedic surgeon in case your baby developes Luxating Patella. Don't let a regular Vet. do the surgery. Congratulations on your new family member. I hope you post pictures soon as you bring him home.

| Welcome to YT!!! I agree with Yorkiedaze, it's best you research for a good vet. The internet is a great resource since you can read other people's reviews. Other pet owners are definitely a great resource, since you can personally ask them questions about their vet. What do they like about him/her? What don't they like? How's the office staff? Will the vet take calls during the day if you have questions? You get the idea.

| You need to find a good vet in your area. You can ask neighbors and friends who they use and how they like them. |
