However LP is pretty common not just for Yorkies but for all Toy Breeds.

I also do not understand how he/she says that all show lines have leg issues. I am not so certain that is true.
I do know leg issues are common in yorkies, but that is due to poor and indiscriminate breeding imo and I am not so sure it is accurate to state they are in all show lines.
Maybe it's a French thing then?
