First welcome to YT . And secondly how refreshing to hear of a breeder disclosing up front potential health problems.


Eight wk old pups can have what is called loose knees which also can translate in some vets opinion as LP Grade one. In any case this pup under your care will need some extra special attention. Runners down on the floor - absolutely no jumping. Good exercise sic walks daily preferabley on grass. Strengthen the back leg muscles etc etc.


If over the next 4 to 7 wks you can do this you may well find that that knee stabilizes itself. But doing nothing is not likely to get a positive result.


And definitely buyers should be concerned with any pup diagnosed with LP. It is a condition that often worsens over time - and requires some special care by pet owners to *try* to avoid that happening. LP surgery is easily over $1500 and as your pup has already been diagnosed with LP pet insurance policies are unlikely to cover that knee and in fact the other knee. So keep that in mind when you think about selling this pup....


And knowing this what do you think the selling price of this dog should be at this point in time?
