I own the male that was bred to this breeders female. I do not believe in using surgery to correct a dog natural selection would of taken out of the breeding programs.. And I love my dogs too much
to consider harming my dogs ...
This breed claims " she will just put the bitch to sleep if she re tears her acl"
When these issue came to lite I offered to pay $500.00 to Spay Peaches and referrals from litters not carrying this disease... Offer was declined a litter of 10 pups = 10,000 so my offer was not high enough it seems.

Here is from this owners own mouth
Akayla had a TPLO performed on her right leg in early Dec '05 and is doing incredibly well with it. She recovered in a few months and has done so well with it that I will be performing a TPLO on the left leg this coming winter if she can hold out that long. When she runs too hard now, her left leg causes her pain. . At the time of the surgery, her right was showing initial signs of tearing and I suspect it's likely worse by now. I have seen zero signs of pain in the leg that received the operation.

Article Title Inheritance of rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in Newfoundlands
Authors Vicki L. Wilke, Michael G. Conzemius, Brian P. Kinghorn, Paula E. Macrossan, Weiguo Cai, Max F. Rothschild
Results—Hospital prevalence for RCCL was 22%; dogs in the pedigree from the recruitment study had a mean level of inbreeding of 1.19 × 104, heritability of 0.27, and a possible recessive mode of inheritance with 51% penetrance for RCCL.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Identification of a genetic basis for RCCL in Newfoundlands provided evidence that investigators can now focus on developing methods to identify carriers to reduce the prevalence of RCCL.
