Yuppers it's the surgery of the month....I do, however, agree the breeding pair should be monitored on how many or if anymore pups were produced with LP and then the breeding pair should be taken out of the program if more are produced but if a breeding pair only produced one pup with LP I don't think either one should be excluded from breeding.
