Dysplasia has a genetic link so it the dogs aren't related you should be ok. If they are related you may need to get your checked out before buying it that way you will know if it has the problem or not; most likely worthwhile as putting it right is an orthopaedic surgery that will cost a bit.

He is old though, 14. A newfoundland is an awesome dog, but really big, and the dysplasia could affect him worse because is is so big. Whatever you do, good luck. Caring for a pet who is ill can be heartbreaking, but it can also be one of the most fulfilling things you can ever do. They need you.
