jay,
luxating patella IS a genetic problem and i bet your "breeder" chewed you out for bringing it to her attention. breeders hate to be informed, whether they knew it already or not, that there is a problem with their breed lines. if you don't completely trust your vets opinion, then go for a second opinion. personally i would completely disregard what the "breeder" has to say at this point, take my dog into a second vet for an opinion and do what the vet recommends.

personally, i would get the second opinion and i would NOT wait for him to grow out of it.
