| What are the sypmtoms? Is the puppy sore like in pano or worse? Is he eating or does his jaw seem to hurt?
If the above is present along with a high temp, it could be Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD). It is not easy to diagnose - needs to be seen by an ortho specialist. The treatment is to manage the pain - rimadyl is good for this. Most puppies do grow out of it but some have lasting ortho damage.
HOD is often preceded by vaccination with the rabies vaccine at a young age. Weim people see HOD a lot and have a very strict vaccine protocal in order to avoid it.
If your breeder IS seeing the symptoms I described, she can contact me privately - I do have experience with HOD personally.
