| testing I have an absoultly wonderful mentor and a lot is required of me before i even consider or start breeding. I am all for this and i am just curious what kinds of tests other breeders do before they breed. Ryder is my first show dog and we have high hopes!!! |

| Hey I never heard how Ryder did in his show in Greeley. So how did he do? Um you'd be better off PMing Mary, and Dee about the tests they do. I know off the top of my head: liver shunts test, bile acid, they have their dogs hips and knees checks by a specialist, burillocis (spelled it wrong sorry) testing, full blood panel to check for any thing irregular. I may have missed something along the way. I had a list at one time, but can't seem to find it.

| I am aware of all the tests i was just curious to see how many people actually do it. SO many yorkie people dont know of all the tests so iw as hoping this would be a great way to inform people about the tests that are out there and that they should do. Ryder did so so at the show. It was his first show and he going through the frightened stage right now and did not like the judge. However, he walked around the ring like he owned it. He has wonderful movement. We just need to work on him getting used to people touching him. His dad did great though and only needs 2 more points to be a chamipion. Our handling class starts up again in 2 weeks so that should help him out with the people. |

| I'm glad to hear he likes the ring at least. I agree that not enough yorkie owners do the tests. Myself included. I live 4 hours away from hip and knee specialists so I didnt get a chance to do that yet. It will be good to hear what every breeder does testing-wise for their dogs.
