I'll just be happy to have a happy, playful, pain free little guy again.
I've also read that it can happen during the birthing process because the breeder pulled too hard on the legs during birth, again, it would seem to be the breeder obligation. A good breeder, I believe, would pay for surgery up to the cost of the puppy, and still give you a new dog, if that's what you wanted.
