Loki has one LP grade 2 he will probably not need surgery. Sammy has two grade 3's and will probably need surgery in a year or two. I feel so bad watching her walk.
Reputable Breeders are taking precautions and working to breed in good knees.

Here's another thought.....allowing your baby to jump off and on furniture can contribute to LP.
