| Debating what to do!!! Hi all, I bought a yorkie puppy last Dec. and now she is 8 months old. When I bought her the breeder said she would cover luxating patellas for the first year even though her contract states that she doesn't (she hand wrote it in)because I told her I already have two with this problem and didn't want another issue with it. In her contract she will not refund money but will give a new puppy. I took her the first week to the vet and he said she definately had loose knees, when I got home I called her and told her what the vet said, she replied that there is no way you can tell until they are a year old. So now she is 8 months old with the same problem and I am not sure what to do, I'm already looking at surguries for the other two and their kness, would you take her back to the breeder? But then I would get a puppy with the same issues, right? Don't get me wrong I love this pup and she cost me $1500. What do you think? |

| I dont think I would be able to give a puppy back that I have for 6 months. You can tell if they have loose kness before a year old. I am not sure what she meant by that. If she wrote on the contract she would cover them, then I would contact her and see if she will at least pay part of the bill. |

| sounds like she is putting you off until the year is up by saying "you cant tell under a year" she sounds like she is full of it why garauntee if you wont stand by your word, she should have said "no guarantees" in her contract then Good luck |

| the fact that she said it would be covered for up to a year and then tells you it cannot be detected until they are over a year old shows that she made an empty promise .... very shady ... which breeder?

| I know I couldn't take the puppy back after having him this long, but it sounds to me like the breeder is trying to put you off until her guarantee runs out. They don't have to be a year old to tell if they have LP. If you can't say the breeder's name, could you PM one of us with the name? |
