Despite the fact that I do not support
indiscriminate breeding of off-colored Yorkies, I have to agree...to an extent. In regards to blue born Yorkies, the presence of increased health issues HAS been proven. In regards to the other off-colored specimens, I have not seen any scientific studies supporting the claim either. (Doesn't mean it doesn't exists, I just mean that I have not seen it.) I have to wonder if it's because the introduction of the color variation is new and there has not been enough time for long term test to provide such results, or if it really is the case that there are no increased issues. Only time will tell, I suppose.
