Wow sorry to hear about your puppy.
That should be a happy time for the both of you.
If there is a serious problem most breeders refund or exchange the puppy.

What is a "roached back"?
Unfortunately there aren't test for all genetic problems.
Appearance also, most of the time the diet & Hygene has alot to do with the coat.

Did you have your puppy Vet Checked within 48hrs after you got him?


When I sell my puppies I have the buyer sign a contract with an agreement to take the puppy within 48hrs to the Vet of their choice for a complete exam.
If the Vet finds anything I will return the monies or exchange the puppy.
I am happy to inform you that has never happened to me.

Another suggestion is don't buy a puppy if you can't see one of the parents, which should be the Dam. And the surroundings in which it is living in.

I do have puppies due this coming Friday Sept 30th and possibly more this December.
I am a novice breeder and have breed Yorkies for the last 6 years.
Oh did I mention I also live in California.
