I was a former member of Yorkietalk before some unfortunate incident but it taught me so much about breeding and what to look for and what to stay away from when I was a newbie.
Nevertheless, I always check breeders by searching these forums and I would like to have someone else avoid this incident if they could. I didn't want to release the breeder's name because I was hoping that the resolution would be more favorable to her. I never expected this from an AKC breeder but the complete lack of remorse or sense of wrong doing is just disgusting.
My breeder was Leslie Roden of
Leslie Roden. Please understand that if you go with this lady who stated that she
KNOWINGLY breeds in her stock that have LP of grades 1 or 2 for a look. She does not plan to stop and will not stop, so you are guaranteeing yourself additional causes for concern.
I have read up on it. I have an amazing vet and I'll just try to hold off the surgery for as long as I can.
I'm just disappointed. Largely in myself as well. I thought I was avoiding the trapping of a backyard breeder by being an AKC snob but I should have done more.
Thank you all so much for the tips and suggestions. I had to get a second opinion and see what the breeder wanted to do but she doesn't care and told me that he is limping from some injury she thinks he has had.
