I didn't know much about Yorkies when I first got Duke so I never asked the breeders about liver shunts, and never had him tested, but he has been neutered and is 7yrs old and is doing just fine.
Since I have learned so much more, I asked Lucie's breeder if she tested her dogs for liver shunts, she said no but she has never had a problem with them or with them in her litters. But I still plan on having Lucie tested before I have her spayed just to make sure.
