I once breed my Sel. Ch Don Quixote dog (OFA Good) to a bitch (also OFA
Good).  The breeder of the litter supplemented
 the puppies from early on with very rich food several times a day.  At =
6
weeks, these butter balls were huge, beautiful round little guys and I =
liked
them so much, I bought the litter.  At three months, they began walking
strangely and I x-rayed them.  They all had severe h/d and had to be
euthanized.  Very rapid growth at an early age is a disaster.
