And yes LP is very very prevalent in this breed and in many other toy breeds.


I think the key here is to ask your breeder if the pups have been evaluated for LP and what are the results? But as I posted in your other thread there are many more health tests that need to be done.


BATS testing of breeding pairs really and truly need to be done. And I would request a BATS of the puppy I was interested in, why?, because two clear dogs can produce a puppy with liver problems.


Because the breeder has disclosed to you the sire has one loose knee, you are quite rightly seeking information on what that means.


I do so hope that I have answered your questions. But in terms of puppy and puppy buying you do need to ask all the health questions and not just *one*.

This one was posted before her other thread became an argument.
