LP as many here have stated can either be genetic, congential or caused by injury and as I've been doing alot of research I have now excluded LP from my contract due to more and more of the toy breeds with LP have been caused from injury from simply jumping up and down in a pen or off the furniture. My puppies are vet checked "3" times before leaving my house and are required to see a vet of their new owners and if they are born with it the vet should pick up some luxating in the knees before the puppy leaves my home but of course if there is some luxating in the knees then I'll cover LP in my contract for one year. Grades 1-2 should NOT require surgery unless meds can not control the pain. I prefer the non surgery approach if at all possible!!!
JMHO!
