Jessica, I have saved your original post, intending to go back and reply, but seems I can't get the time to make the proper reply I want to make that would express my sympathies. And since I do not want you to feel you have been ignored, I felt it would be better to just go ahead with a short and sweet reply. :-) You will be in my thoughts and prayers as will Bridget. It is bad breeders that give us all a bad name! I just recently heard that a pup I bred 7 months ago may have luxating patellas (SP) I am waiting to hear from his owner and if so, I have to try to figure out if it came from my girl or the outside stud....I hate to think that I am responsible for something like this!! It is killing me and I am keeping on top of it. If it turns out that is the problem and that it is from my girl, she will be spayed asap. Irresponsible breeders make life difficult for everyone. I wish you both the best and you are in my thoughts. Marsha

Its just a sore spot I have... still upset.
