I recently bought a girl for show out of a very good show kennel
she did not show lp untill 13 months old rated 4 in both back legs as hard as it was for me she was returned to the breeder and i start again
it happens she seemed good to me also untill i was grooming her one evening and heard her leg pop while grooming she showed no signs of lp at all the vet told us she was born with it and it was finally showing signs
that up to 1 or 1 1/2 it can be injury but anything over that is usually
not and that a good breeder would just not breed the girl on the risk that it is not an injury so i took my girl to a second vet who confirmed the first report it happens and you just deal with it and move on sad yes but again it happens so i have learned to let go when i have to easy no i cried for days but the show kennel wanted her back and sometimes there is alot of hard knocks with the school of yorkies and learning so she is now spayed and going to be placed in a pet home the breeder is having the surgery done before placing her
