Welcome to YT Eve. Concerning your girl, you definitely shouldn't breed her knowing about these. Wouldn't want to pass on a defect. Also, for her physically I'm sure there are risks involved. I suggest that you rethink your first breeding. Females should be 18 months or on second heat. Starting with a good foundation according to the standard set forth by YTCA, health and genetic testing is important. One won't regret these steps and potentials owners will thank you for a healthy puppy. Stay around, post and ask questions. Best Wishes
