 can't give the family, but any experience will be really appreciated, as it
 might help them make up there mind.  They are coming here on tuesday as
 planned to see for themselves how he looks, and to take a look at the white

 have.  >>

Probably should not sell this pup.  Never seen a cruciate ligament in such a
young dog, but this seems like it could be very serious.  I do not know when
surgery would be indicated, i.e., at what age.
