Sad, but true and it happens all the time! I have had many so called reputable show breeders tell me that LP is just common and you deal with it, NOT ME! The first show female I bought for showing (from a show breeder and she has been in the YT magazine also), she had a c-section scar and was never suppose to have been bred before, but to top it off she had two (2) grade 4 luxating patellas! I had waited three months for this girl and I spent alot of nights crying about it and knowing that she was going to have to go to a pet home..
