As a matter of fact, my girl who had LP corrective surgery that I paid for (all $ involved is over 5K at this point for this surgery) b/c my breeder told me that NONE of her breeding dogs have LP and NONE of her breeding dogs ever produced a pup with LP --- Both her rear legs have a curvature to her bone structure, her one knee cap was facing the wrong way and her grooves that the knee caps are suppose to fit and stay secure were extremely shallow that it was impossible for them to not luxate...But, again - FREE PASS - Patella Luxation 'can' happen from injury too -- That's what my answer to it all was from my breeder -- BULL S***
