IMHO, she sounds "friendly" enough but didn't make too much sense to me.
First off, luxating patellas can develop later on and cannot always be determined at a young age.
She also states that she's never had a problem with the parents before - ask if her dogs are OFA tested? It doesn't take much to have your dog tested and again in my opinion, it should be done.
Keep in mind that luxating patellas are a recessive gene and even if the parents are clear it could still occur in the pups. Sounds like a "Catch 22" but I feel the testing should begin somewhere.
Good Luck.... |
