Kathy, I'm trying to find the owners to talk to them about Lady's background as it pertains to health and genetics. Like does LS run in her family. Lady is very healthy but her breeder didn't seem to know anything. I was new to Yorkies and assumed they were like other breeds. She was my second Yorkie and it was my second month owning Yorkies. I have contacted all of the other breeders and none of them have had any problems in their histories for at least 3 or more generations. I am aware that this doesn't mean there won't be a throwback but I feel safer with them than with Lady. I should probably call Lady's breeder and talk to her because at the time I bought Lady her breeder had just come out of the hospital after being there for a month. She seemed a little confused. I just have the feeling that I don't want to deal with her. Sylvia
