:Hi,
:Do you have a puppy who has genetic issues? Please contact me if you do...maybe we can work together to do something about it. Email me at kareval@hotmail.com. See my story at www.spsac.com/mickey.html

I have raised 3 yellow labs that could be considered "puppy mill" dogs. All 3 have had "issues" from respitorary problems to hip dysplasia to ACL knee problems. However, despite these genetic issues, these pups have been so mild in temperament. My youngest is 1 and my oldest is almost 7. The little girl in the middle is almost 6. She was the most sick as a puppy (almost died of respitorary problems). She was born with dislocated hips, but she can jump a mile in the air...go figure?? My 7 year old has had surgery on his knee (ACL) at Purdure University...they did a GREAT job. My 1 year old is doing good...so far so good.

Clearly, you love Labs as much as I do. Please feel free to communicate with me back-channel...susie_erazmus@hotmail.com
