Reputable breeders often will give the cost of puppy back to the pet owner; and you get to keep the dog. Some breeders will offer to exchange the dog, which is a worthless guarantee in my opinion. LP is tricky, because sometimes it's genetic and sometimes it's due to injury. She may have had the LP before the accident, in fact,
the LP may have even caused the accident, but proving this would be difficult. I would always let a breeder know about the LP, if enough people tell him, maybe he'll get the message. This is one of the reasons, I suggest that people find the best breeders they can, it really saves you lots of money and heartache in the end.
