First
The YTCA set the standards for the breed, as they wanted them to be, they did not Create the Yorkshire Terrier.
Second
The wait and see attitude??? I would imagine thopse that developed any breed had to go therough the wait and see period during the development process.
Third
The problem has not occured in all breeds or all dogs of one breed, which leads me to believe it is more than one gene causing the problem, it is a combination.
