Do you need two full brothers with the same identical genes? Pick the one who sires the best quality and health, temperment and soundess...all that good stuff!!

Every forum has dozens of posts from unhappy pet owners with unhealthy Yorkies..we as breeder must do all we can to insure the line is as healthy as humanly possible. It is no fun to have to worry and stress over each litter..then keep them months longer then need be because we are worried something will go wrong..enough can go wrong with with puppies who act/appear 100% at selling time..

You are lucky, a problem is staring you in the face and you have the opportunity to fix now before it gets the better of your breeding program.
