We had Belle’s hips x-rayed - she shows mild hip dysplasia. I guess we will give her to my son (she will be spayed) and get another puppy ~ sigh.

Oh, poor lambkins!

She was probably hurting when she bolted for the truck.

It's o.k. for her, she'll be happy as a lark as a family pet, and with a mild case as long as she's not pushed to the limit she won't be in any discomfort that a low dose of NSAID (rimadyl or similar) won't relieve. I know it's frustrating for YOU!

Be sure to talk to the breeder, you may be able to get something back on her, and at a minimum the breeder needs to know that this cropped up.

We're having Ruby X-rayed after she turns 2 in August, and we'll decide whether to spay her after that. Of course I'm nervous - she sure doesn't display any symptoms but I'll feel better when that hurdle is crossed.
