 Welcome
Hi and welcome...
Yorkies are genetically prone to liver shunt, but researchers to not yet know how it is passed in the genes.
They are prone to luxating patella's of varying degrees, but that is a toy problem in general.
As to genetic tests for breeding, I am more interested in the bloodline and where the potential came from..you can run a bile acid for liver, but that will only tell you about that one dog. Does not tell you anything about the ancestors..same with knees.
Other breeders will no doubt add to this post as I do not want to write a page full and overwhlem you with too much info in one post...best wishes |
