That was not a concern of course because we love her and would never take the easy way out, so to speak, and give up on her.
If I was going to give up it would have been from the mind numbing process that is housebreaking this little lady.
Did you get a chance to see the thread about the puppy selection process?
I don't know who your breeder is:

1. Leggs Perthes can be congenital, different views on it. Or it can be caused during the whelping process. Hind leggs coming first, the breeder pulling the legs. Either way, it is the breeder's responsibility. Surgery/medical expenses should be covered by the breeder.

2. You mentioned YTCA; not sure if the breeder is a member or not. If this is a member, then file a complaint with YTCA. Include said name of breeder, what you paid for the pup and copy of your medical bills. Send it to the YTCA Secretary and President. This would carry more weight than a YT breeder review.
