I have a chocolate yorkie 16lb boy. His parents are 5-7lb standard color yorkies. 2 of the 6 were born chocolate. His sister was noticeability smaller in size at 9 weeks old. At the age of 9 months Chunk was diagnosed with retina degeneration and is now totally blind. I know this is where God wants Chunk to be. He has brought us so much happiness and he gets around just fine in our home and trailer. We have 2 other dogs who the Dr. say are his guide dogs. I advised the breeder of Chunk's condition and advised her that his parents are carriers of this defective gene that causes blindness. I can't believe she hadn't been informed of this before. I also don't like the fact that that she is to this day selling the litters at $950 for a male chocolate yorkie. Last year we paid $700 for Chunk I doubt that she is telling her customers that blindness might be possible. Her name is Robbie Harris from La Habra Heights, CA. We have now regrets about Chunk but not anyone would feel this way especially after paying this much money.
