AS to what is being done to detect this defect by most breeders..nothing.
If there is no test all I can do is wait for a pattern to develop. So far I have had no pet owners contact me and tell me their Yorkie had CT. None of my Yorkies in my home have it.
I have been told CT can develop in a normal trach. Yorkies should not wear collars and constantly pull on a lead..they had small trachs and it can cause damage. |
