My toy poodle boy has legg perthes. I opted for the removal of the femur bone (they put a ligament over the top of the leg bone to make the leg work), and he is great! He has to have baby aspirin once in awhile, but other than that he runs as fast and loves to play as much as the other pups.
As for which surgery I would prefer, both are usually successful. Make sure they neuter your boy when he goes in for surgery. I paid $800 to have his done, but the vet gave me a break.
