Since there is no DNA test to see if a dog carries the gene that causes Luxating Patellas, at least I don't think so, could it possible show up in the offspring of two tested parents who are OFA GRADE0 (CLEAR)? Is this where breeding to generations (line breeding?), to LP clear dogs, help to eliminate or at least minimize this crippling disease?
Thank You
