 breeding father to daughter
At one time this was a perfect breeding to do if all was well but today with livershunt being so bad in the yorkie breed I would never line breed any yorkie....if you breed please be sure to bile acid test the adults to be sure they do not have livershunt and also have the trachea and stifles checked as these things can also be passed on ......if breeders were more careful in their breeding practices then some of these health risk would not be happening.......I am not talking about any one breeder in particular but why bring sick puppies into this world......life is hard enough ........I must stress that bile acid testing the breeding stock will only tell you they do not have livershunt but it will not tell you if they are carriers.......in my opinion breed two yorkies unrelated and possibly you can avoid livershunt but not all thinks are in stone...........whelping yorkie puppies is a hard thing and not kowning what you are doing could cause you to lose your pups and your momma dog......but we all need to learn......please feel free to ask questions and if i can help at all I will greatly steer you in the right direction....
