Thanks! that's very helpful. I have a really handsome rescue I'd sort of like to breed if he wants to at some point, but he does have a back injury. I was told it showed up when he was 2 or 3 all of a sudden and the owner though he broke something. I wouldn't wish to breed him if it wasn't an injury. Are there any indications that a kink/bump is an injury rather than a birth defect? I was wondering if it would be worth the time to get him X-rayed. Kind of curious what the bones there look like anyways, I may just get it done eventually.

It does look like an old healed injury with some scar tissue, so I am not inclined to believe the previous owner has any reason to lie about it. I got the rescues for free, so there wasn't any incentive for her.
