While it will take me a very long time to come to grips with this, I am also very angry with the breeder I bought her from. She acts as if it's something we did (or didn't do) and that none of her other dogs exhibit symptoms like Delilah. How do I make sure these people do not sell anymore dogs to unsuspecting owners like myself? I would hate for anyone else to experience this. Any ideas, suggestions or advice you could give me would be helpful and appreciated.

I am so very sorry. Did you have a contract against genetic conditions? LS is genetic.
