I want to know if something were to pop up but then again that's why I health test and know my dogs lines.
I've actually had to start over with Cammie and Radar because Brooklynn was my first breeding bitch before I did more extensive research and was the beginning for me and she has LP and produced an LP puppy so therefore she's spayed and every one else she's produced is spayed and neutered even my first homebred champion. So out of the 3 litters she did have she and only one young puppy shows LP and I'm thankful but the lines are stopped period!
I know LP isn't "life threatening" but I'm an ethical breeder and responsible and therefore I hide nothing

I just want to jump in on the conversation and say BRAVO to you for not breeding dogs with LP even though it isn't life threatening. Take it from someone who has had a lot of LP problems and you will understand how painful it is for us, the owners. My poor baby Codie is going in for surgery on the 21st for LP on his right knee. He has already had surgery for his left knee. X-rays have shown it to be genetic (according to my 2 vets) for both legs.
Not to mention my Chihuahua, Cali, was born with LP is BOTH back legs as well.
It's so sad. It's genetic too.
I just want to say a big THANK YOU to you and every other ethical breeder who refuses to breed dogs that carry LP. If hubby ever lets me add a 4th baby to our family, expect a call from me.
