[LittleBits Mom]

You are a very respectable person to put it out on the line like you have. A lot of breeders would just try it anyway, because they have a lot of money in a dog. I breed too, and to a lot of people, it would be too tempting to not use him for breeding but you are doing the right thing. I dont believe it will go away. My LittleBit is the same way. It looks like her back legs (which I call legs) are longer/taller than her front legs(which I call arms) . My husband laughs at me becuase I use that termanolgy, comparing them to humans with fingers and toes and fingernails and toenails. Anyway, my girl gets along great, but even if she was big enough (she is only 2.5lbs full grown) I wouldnt breed her because of the roachback.
Good luck on getting any money back, my guess is the breeder knew and didnt want to lose a sale. As bad as that may seem, a lot of times its true. Hopefully I am wrong and she will give you the difference between what she charges for pet quality to breeding quality. Keep us informed.
