Hip and knee problems
Be very careful buying your peke puppy, especially out of state. I bought a 3 month
old puppy who turned out to have hip displacia and luxating patella on both sides.
Surgical correction is prohibitively expensive; our only alternative was putting him to
sleep or letting him live with it on anti-inflammatories until he got older and disabled
from it. What a choice! Get your puppy certified by a vet to be free of hip or knee
problems. Your breeder may not reveal or even know.
