IMO, it would be very very unlikely that any dog from a good breeder who tests their breeding stock would develop luxating patellas at such a devastatingly young age. Did they get a contract with their puppy? A good breeder also guarentees against genetic complications (including luxating patellas) for at the very least 1 year, preferably 2 or more, and will either pay for the surgery or pay the owner back for the price they paid.
Oh yes, My son told me that she has PAPERS!!! ,no mention of such a contract though. I'll bring the subject up when I see him again.

I felt their deep concern for Miura, so, I didn't press the issue while he visited. My daughter-in-law got her from a friend at work and paid her $175.00. Miura was born sometime in November , I can't remember the date they went to pick her up, but I know she was 8 or 12 weeks old

Thank-you so much for this reply.
