I appreciate your concern, I reallt do. but I do not plan to scrap my breeding program for something that may never happen.
I have no intention of breeding to produce an all white yorkie. I like the color on the ears, and that is the look I will strive for.
My breeder has been breeding partis for many years and many generations and is not producing deaf puppies. |
I bet that not one of the puppies has been BAER tested and as you have read,(hopefully) the unilateral deafness problem is almost impossible to tell unless they are tested. So how do any of you know that this problem does not exist in your breeding program?
