Nope, a fracture repair is acceptable. Just because a pup or dog got crazy and jumped off of something and broke it's leg, that isn't genetic.
I'm not sure without seeing the pup whether the fracture had anything to do with not finishing....it could have been a multitude of reasons that we may never know.
