Help Breeding With An Lp?

[CO_yorkie_momma]

That is a good question Amber. When I took my puppies in to have them checked before I sent them to their new homes I asked my vet about LP and he told me that many toy breeds have a tiny bit of movement in their knees and like Yorkie Rose stated you would be hard pressed to find one that didnt have any. I would just tell her to keep and eye on her and not let her do any jumping and see how she does or if it gets any worse than a 1-2. If it does I dont think I would breed Peeka to her because that may hurt your name if she produces LP in her puppies even tho Peeka didnt contribute to it. JMO

I can tell you what two of our Vets told us about Luxating Patellas....That they can tighten up..it is a minor flaw...its suggested that its genetic, but not proven , is a familiar problem with toy breeds and if its the bitch that has it and not severe enough grade to produce a hardship on her with the weight of a preg. breed her to a stud that doesn't have LP.... They weren't real concerned with it being a prob. I trust their advice, especially both and they are at separate clinics
