Now I've learned that my next-door neighbor bought for size and ended up with a standard minpin with luxating patellas.

I'm hoping that a story like that would drag this evilness into the light and educate the public. But should I not hold my breath?
Great idea...hope they respond with a big YES!!! You can't blame some of these people though...they just don't know better, which is why this would be a great way to educate a lot of people who don't "do their homework". I'm one of those who "do my homework" in many areas...not everyone does that. This would inform many potential buyers of what to beware of. Keep us posted on their response.
