Just tell the breeder that your dog has luxating patella very matter of factly. Our new Yorkie is a rescue, and she was given up by the breeder to a rescue because she has luxating patella. I think she was going to be used for breeding because she wasn't spayed until after she was given up to the rescue when she just turned 1 year old. She didn't have any puppies before being spayed. I don't know when breeders start breeding dogs, but I'm guessing it's around 1-1.5 years old. LP is genetic as far as I know, and the better breeders probably don't want LP to get passed on to puppies. |
