No they did not. I have been in contact with a breeder of yorkies through the same site I have used for the pap. The site is "name of breed" club of america.I will be going to see her pups this weekend and she does genetic testing and that will have a full warrenty. She is $1000 more and with the three dogs that I have that will be pricey but in the long run most likely worth it. She has mom and dad and grandma's and other generations on site also. The pup that i had picked out had the mom and grandma there and they did look very healthy. So at this point who knows. I will find more out this weekend when I can see the litter. She keeps them for 12 weeks.
If you can find it i put the pups picture on the yorkie talk photo gallery
