I felt like chiming in, but there have been breeders who many people swore by only to find out that they were purposely breeding dogs with things like luxating patellas, etc... because it's not that big of a deal according to them.
Here is a thread posted by an owner who had to deal with such a thing...

But this isn't entirely unheard of... I've known people that have gotten duped like that by breeders who appeared good, clean, knowledgeable, dogs were in with them and you couldn't see anything wrong-- but when they'd get them they'd find out sometime later they're born with an illness that could had been prevented.
A bad breeder can easily disguise themselves as a good breeder... Wolves in sheepskin clothing.... and once it's done they can't do anything about it legally because they'd have bogus loop holes like they dont guarantee against certain defects...
