 Luxating Patellas
How many of you are willing to pay extra for puppies whose parents' knees are OFA certified? I'm a breeder making every reasonable effort to produce high quality puppies the average family can afford to buy. When I asked my vet about OFA testing for my breeding dogs he laughed and made the practice sound unnecessary. His rationale is that most toy dogs get some kind of patella issue in their lives and that it is only rarely seriously painful or debilitating. How about letting dog owners be more responsible about how they train their dogs not to do things that are likely to overstress their knees? |
