From: Helen Franklin 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.
