thanks for the input. I do think the breeder was being delusional when breeding this dog, talking herself into the thought that it was caused by an accident. Why risk it. She gave the impression all her dogs were tested but than had this excuse for this mom. we looked at the certificates certifying all her other dogs and than realized this mom was not included. I would have never got a dog out of this dam if I had known this, she was quite expensive too. I had 2 other Yorkies that lived long lives with no problem form the luxating patella. They were walked and excercised and possibly that made their ligaments etc stronger so as no to have this be a problem. It is a hard decision, cause it could be the wrong one not to do surgery with this particular pup.
