I did not even mention the underbite. My post was to point out the dangers when breeding a family pet. Yes, we who breed responsibily keep our Yorkies in our homes and consider them pets as well as for breeding. And, granted, there are risks with breeding any female no matter how many tests we do, how much we research and how careful we are in the selection process of the stud. We have not necessarily accepted that but we know it can and has happened and that is why we try to do our very best to prevent problems before we decide to breed the dam and sires of our choice. We also have worked very hard to learn all that we can before putting the first 2 dogs together to make puppies.
In this case, the underbite is another consideration that you cannot do anything about other than not perpetuate the fault by breeding her. You can always start your breeding at a later date. |
