Mine is a rescue which came from a so called reputable breeded. He was in 5 homes by the time he was 9 months. I'm so glad he is in my life. I am just beside myself about this.

He does have a grade 2-3 luxating patella which is what we thought the problem was but his back is startng to hunch. Patella's do not do this. The hip does.

This just breaks my heart for him.
