Thanks for that article. This is a reasonably well structured dog, (not perfect of course) not overweight (not an ounce of fat, typical male). Like most yorkies, he is a pogo stick, however. I am pulling him from my breeding program, I am getting another male in the spring out of the US and he is old enough that I was thinking of retiring him anyways. I do have and was planning on breeding his daughter, who has normal knees. Should I assume that this is a genetic problem and pull his daughter from my breeding program or is it possible that this problem is environmental and I can breed his daughter with caution to a boy that has great knees.
