Like others here, I'm upset about this girl with severe LP having babies. I won't make a judgement (well, at least not to the point of name calling) on the issue but will say many times vets give bad advice or even no advice. It does sound like this vet didn't stress the dangers of LP enough though it is the owner's ultimate responsibility. My current vet told me that one of my pups was a beautiful specimen and I should keep her and breed her. She was, at that time, 7 months old and 3 pounds. Needless to say, I found a proper pet home for her as she was much too small to breed. With that being said, I hope that the pups Dad has good structure and the pups didn't inherit Mom's knee problems. Though, I would never breed a girl such as this, it doesn't automatically mean that the pups are destined to have the same condition. I truly hope, for the pups' sake, that they take after their (hopefully sound) father as far as structure goes. |
