Many breeders do, but there has been no gene found to this day, that is linked to LS. Letting a small puppy go without food and water is very dangerous.
Lp is another issue, always ask when buying a puppy if the knees are sound. Never buy a puppy less then 12 weeks old, and make sure they are big enough to be shipped.

Yes, I always had Nutrical on hand and sometimes after her morning feeding I would give her a light mixture of sugar water with a syringe to wash everything down.
