If 12 weeks is better than 10 we can certainly hold off for another week before splitting them up (they are almost at 11 now)
again, sorry to offend anyone with the 1000$ price tag, Im just going off what my sister said (she usually thinks things she owns are more than they are really worth, so no surprise there  ), if anyone would like to suggest a good asking price I should start at, I would appreciate it (or if there are any other questions that would factor into that, fire away)
thanks for the help and info so far |
A dog with LP should never be breed it can be passed on to the puppies. LP can be so miserable for some dogs and require surgery to fix which can cost around $2,000 per knee. Whether you are breeding for profit or not genetic testing should be done because you could end up with puppies being born that have a genetic illness that could leave them suffering and in pain or effect them later in life.
