LP is so common that some breeders just consider it "normal" and that's sad.
You'll know if it becomes a problem. Sammy walks funny because she doesn't want to bend her knees. Imagine walking with your knees locked - that's how she walks. She still bends them to run and gosh can she JUMP, there's no stopping her! But it does impact her every day so she will have surgery in March. With Loki, it doesn't bug him often so there's no need to put him through surgery. I also give them lots of glucosamine.
