People who purchase LS puppies probably have learned more about livershunt than a breeder who never had it -- and it's more then they ever wanted to know!
Since the incidence of LS in Yorkies in increasing, the "been there done that" breeders have not been able to control this problem and if things continue in the same way, I don't believe that LS is going to miraculously disappear. Here we have someone who has made it her life's work trying to help and people look for ways to disregard what she has found for us. She goes out of her way to help breeders, rather than blame them for the problem. I wonder if she gets disgusted -- She has many LS dogs living on her premises.
