A bit of info. While Shunt Testing does reveal that your pup is without the desease, it doesn't reveal that the pup is not a carrier......The DNA marker when finally developed will provide that info.

Luxating Patellas is something that has plagued the Toy Breeds....if you look at their skeletal system you'd see why, the groove in that area is virtually very shallow.....it can be hereditary and it can be caused by injury.......
