Sorry, I guess I should have explained things a little better...
The reason I mentioned BYB - is b/c that's how I feel about their breeder. Both Roxy and TJ have Bi-lateral LP. Roxy has CT. At 6 months old when I got Roxy she had a full double row of teeth that obviously had NEVER been brushed (plus she ate poop everyday). She was so shy, timid, and fearful of EVERYTHING. TJ was 4 months old and the first week he was with me he had these 'episodes' of pure mucus poop, etc. this last about a year and with blood work and Vet visits at least 2-3 times a week, it was determined he has some form of IBD, that he will have forever. TJ has roach back, LP in both legs and he is missing about 9 adult teeth, that just never formed.
My groomer purchased 2 females (repeat of Roxy's parents). Same thing pretty much, horrible teeth, clicking in their legs too and the one little girl also has liver issues that they monitor. My groomer just told me last week that a customer had purchased a little male from the same parents as Roxy (a little while back). The man spent over $4000 trying to save his life. He died at 9 months old and when the Vet did an autopsy, his organ were that of what you'd find in a 13 year old dog.
These are the reason I had both TJ and Roxy tested and these are the reasons that I call my breeder a BYB. I do agree that liver problems can happen to any dog and any breeder. Sorry I didn't explain why I said what I said before.
Oh and yes, I messed up with my wording about Roxy symptoms. I really meant to say that she doesn't show any classic signs of liver problems. I only things that I can say may be 'odd' about Roxy are those I listed above (not that they are symptoms...sorry
)
