[QUOTE=jencar98;2068319]And for those who think your health guarantee should be enough, that's good but there are many who don't stand behind their guarantee when problems with a sick pup arise. I've seen this happen too many times (even on YT). So those that keep talking about non-breeders not "walking the walk", etc. I would say there are just as many heartbroken yorkie owners out there who purchased sick dogs and they don't want to walk that walk again.

I wish you could walk in OUR shoes....
The breeding pairs SHOULD be tested
But there is NO reason in my opinion to test puppies at such a young age
Unless there is reason to suspect that this may be the issue....
If the adults have been tested, chances are the puppy is healthy
WHY chance putting a little pup thru this when there are no indications that there is a problem.
Yes, theres a risk of health defects in a puppy.

Yes even in humans,theres a risk of health defects.
How about if it would be required that all pregnant women have amniocentesis?
Well you may lose the baby...BUT thats the risk
Not worth that risk to many....... I can assure you
I know of too many women who worried themselves to death about doing the "right thing" even when a genetic factor was there.
To some...it is not worth that risk when most are perfectly healthy babys

But to be TOLD to "do the right thing"
Sometimes we take that risk....
Then lose puppies...and other puppies almost die...huge vet bills

No one can imagine how attached we get to these little guys.
We love them. Most of us cry when they leave.
To have one die hurts us so bad....but to have one die because of a test that really doesn't always show for sure this early....and most of the puppies are fine if the parents test fine , Its devastating.
Even if they dont die...It hurts them bad...takes them so long to recoup from...
Its just not worth the risk..
