Have you and/or your vet proven to the breeder that the Legg calves perthes was not brought on through injury or environmental reasons?
I wish you and your pup the best, and hope that all goes well with his surgery. Please keep us updated on his progress. |
I have a question- why do breeders say they will replace the puppy? I think this is kinda crazy. If at 11 months I found out Layla had a genetic disease you coudln't pry her away from my hands- i woudln't be looking for a "replacement". I can see the Principle of it- you promised something that was healthy and if it isn't you are going to make sure that happens- but i don't know many people that would say- well he's broken- better go get a new one... anyways- i was just wondering if maybe there was a different way breeders could handle this.
