| Protruding Sternum Remy has a protruding sternum. Its been something I was aware of from the beginning - you can feel it when you rub his chest and belly My vet has said it should not cause a problem for him. He seems fine (15 mos old) and it does not appear to bother him Thought I would ask - what experience do you all have with this issue? How about those of you who may be breeders? How severe is this "fault"? Is it something that separates one from standard, but is not health serious? Or am I facing long term health issues? Thanks in advance |

| Hmmm I have never heard of it..I guess you see it a lot in pugs and breeds like that. Googling it I saw nothing about yorkies having it. They had pics of some pugs that had it and they stated no problems with it if that helps any.
