I have a dog sitting a home from a show breeder and the dog has lines from some of the best in the business. I will be taking him in soon to have his Legg Perthes operated on so I guess that doesnt always hold true. I am not meaning to sound defensive but just because they come from show breeders with quality lines doesnt mean you are guaranteed a sound dog. I made the mistake of assuming that was true but it was a bad assumption on my part.
