: Should i have my jack russell breed if she has a flouting knee cap?

Response:

Hi Kimberly,
If your dog has been diagnosed with a floating knee cap/Luxating Patella, then you should NOT breed her. This will pass on to her puppies and I know that you don't want to do that. This is considered a hereditary defect and the dog should be spayed.
