If you let your dog jump off of things, or get too fat, you can expect that some will have problems with their knees.
Many breeders no longer will cover LPs because of environmental issues. Do you realize that it only takes one jump/twist to injure a knee? Once a pup/dog leaves the breeder's home, they do not know what kind of environment the dog lives in. They do not know what the new owners allow their dogs to do.
Don't be so quick to judge a breeder and say that LPs are all their fault!

Please know I wasnt blaming anyone...just trying to find ways we can prevent it or ways to help those who have it already
I know Maddie is a jumper and I don't know how to keep her from jumping. I have stairs, going to my bed, etc, but she just dont or wont use them.
