Over the years I have seen and heard about many pups with leg deformities...remember I have dozens of breeder friends..and we share..

One friend had a girl with a back leg much shorter...it was a malformed joint..nothing could be done...and nothing was needed to be done. The pup is an adult and has no clue there is a problem...she walks and runs just fine...she was placed in a pet home and is a wonderful girl.

I, personally had a small male born with one front leg shorter. Nothing could be done, the joint was missing...I gave him to a friend and when his hair grew out,it was barely noticable. Jake lived a happy life..

Another friend had a male born with NO front legs...he learned to hop like a bunny and lived 7 yrs...

I have seen many Yorkies who broke their legs and the vets needed to remove the leg...they did find with 3 legs.

I am not making light of your little guys problem...but not all are born perfect, but all can be perfect pets for someone.
