Level 2 Luxating Patella's I was wondering??????? am i nutts to think anyone that would want buy a bitch with level 2 luxating patella's as a breeder is just in it for the money? PLEASE TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ;o) |
Thank you for your vote |
If I read your poll correctly, disgusting means to buy for breeding is wrong so I voted disgusting. I agree to buy something for breeding with knowing LP is just plain wrong. If you buy it and it's diagnosed IMO there are only 2 options: 1. Return it to the breeder 2. Alter the Yorkie it and place it as a pet and EXPECT to take the loss! |
I do not know why any good/reputable breeder would even consider this. I know that there are breeders out there that wouldn't even give this a second thought and would breed a dam and then the unsuspecting buyer of these pups may or may not have to deal with it but either way, this is WRONG and should NEVER be done!!!!! :thumbdown |
Lp Sad, but true and it happens all the time! I have had many so called reputable show breeders tell me that LP is just common and you deal with it, NOT ME! The first show female I bought for showing (from a show breeder and she has been in the YT magazine also), she had a c-section scar and was never suppose to have been bred before, but to top it off she had two (2) grade 4 luxating patellas! I had waited three months for this girl and I spent alot of nights crying about it and knowing that she was going to have to go to a pet home.. :( |
I have a friend who just called a well shown breeder, and they dicusses LP, and she says that it's no big deal to breed a grade 1 or even 2, it's done all the time. Does that give you a clue as to why it is so rampant in Yorkies? It's disgusting... |
I didnt vote disgusting because a yorkie can live a long full life without pain with a grade two. Lets not forget LP's can be congenital or caused by a trauma, jumping is the most common injury and cause. Congenital should not be bred, if caused by trauma then it would be up to the decretion of the breeder. |

It's very good that you asked, then. Yes, there are many seasoned breeders here that I've found are always willing to help when they can. They are great and aren't the type to not share the wealth of knowledge that they have. Many will even talk to you on the phone if you ever run into a problem or just want to talk.:thumbup: |
How could a person know if its one or the other Quote:
Thank You |

YEAH that sounds right to me> i couldn't see the point of wanting to buy a breeding female who was not totally sound what ever the reason. I am new to this but i have never been into it for the money and it seems this mind set would be for $ gain only. I could be wrong but i seems correct in my head. |

congenital would be malformation or abnormalities of the tibia and or the femur causing weak ligaments which can be detected in an x-ray and a manual evaluation. The malformation would obviously read differently than that of a trauma injury to the trained eye. |
