As YorkieRose mention, I think anyone that has been breeding any number of years is going to have a problem pop up once in a while. BUT, i also think that it's the way the problem is handled, as she also said, that makes the difference. i was recently at a huge AKC show and watched groups for all the classes. i saw a large dog in one of the classes that actually limped around the ring. it was obvious it had some sort of leg or hip problem. I also found out that a liver shunt dog was being shown. So it isn't just the BYB or puppymills that are having this problem. |
