Question Can yorkies develop liver shunts?

I got a female yorkie a little while back and I sent the breeder an update on my Simone and she sung me all these wonderful praises and said I have another female that is looking to be too small to breed so I will let her go to you for $200 and I was shocked at the price and didn't want to miss the opportunity.

I kept her separate from Hooks and Simone because she was so small and I was worried about her. She was fine, but she would vomit and act weird. My vet told me that I was probably overreacting again give her a little while to adjust being home. I waited a week and took her in and he said that she may have a liver shunt. I called the lady and left a message and never heard back. He (the vet) went through the process of doing the test.

After I vomited and cried about how much money it cost, she indeed had a liver shunt and we were going to just go ahead and do the surgery. However, Leela died and the breeder finally got in touch with me and said that she has never had this problem and that although I may not want to hear it. It is something that she probably got from my care.

This all kind of hit me pretty fast and I have been reading the threads on here about it, but was it something that I did? I got Simone from her and she is fine. Any information would be appreciated.
