You can also post a breeder review on here, once you feel ready to do so.
Leggs Perthes is an inherited disorder.... |

I think show dogs are beautiful and I love to watch them but my babies are precious to me and I don't care that they are not perfect in every way. Follow your heart. Maybe this little pup needs you. My dogs are full blooded yorkies and I paid dearly for them but I have friends who have beautiful dogs that did not cost as much! Again, follow your heart. |
I'm sorry, but I think you've misunderstood this whole thread...did you see the above posts? LPD is an inherited disease (like gemy mentioned), the OP should run as far away from this breeder as she can!
