If you are referring to when I said LP I was talking about Luxating Patella. Due to my dog having come from a puppy mill and no one doing testing or even caring to check the breeding dogs for LP she has LP in both legs. One leg the ACL tore as well she had to have and very expensive surgery with a painful recovery and then the pins they put in had to come out which caused pain as well. Her other ACL is suspecting to tear with in a year. The health problems my dog has had is why I am so against puppy mills and sticking as close to the rules as possible. I knew nothing about brokers and all the things you should look for when finding a breeder. I could never imagine my life with out Callie but she has definitely had many problems. I am trying to educate you and other people so they can avoid as many problems as possible and not have to see there dog in pain and miserable like I have seen Callie like after the LP surgery and when she was sick as a pup. Most people who get there dog from either a bad breeder or a puppy mill end up not being able to afford or take care of there dog the right way when they experience some of the problems that can come with getting a pup from a mill or bad breeder.
