Please educate me more on this. Is it because breeders are just not being careful with how they are breeding? Isnt it hereditary?

Just wondering cause Maddie is a jumping fool and it worries me. I know I talked to Jill about this and she's never had any of her doggies or their offsprings have this problem. She said she has hers checked before she breeds? So that made me feel better.

Can they get it only through hereditary????

For all the babies out there with this problem....You're in my thoughts and prayers.
thanks Denise for posting this. I was thinking about asking the same. I'm starting to get worried sometimes too. So many cases of LP lately... and Bengi, just like Maddie, jumps on and off of the couch and high bed all the time...
If he doesn't have it in his genes I just hope that him being a healthy 5.5 lb boy would help him avoid it.
