Most breeders that do genetic testing, and ultrasounds and see great vets and feed the right nutrition ARE charging you the cost of the bills! Maybe the bills didn't cost them that much this time around, but imagine if the dog needed a C-section, or if she dried up and those pups had to be hand-reared? They charge you for their time and money and expertise, as it should be. The breeders that don't care about stock and lineage aren't worth their salt IMO. From what i've seen so far, yorkies have too many genetic and congenital issues not to test. Seriously, how you could breed two dogs without knowing the likelyhood of liver shunting or other genetic issues and still sleep at night is beyond me.
