Oh, I know exactly where you're coming from. It seems that the potential health issues are overwhelming. I constantly worried about Bailey's health the first year as most serious health issues are discovered then.
I'm happy to say that Bailey is now 2 yo and not a single ailment affects her - other than a scare with LP when she was 8 mos old - but that turned out to be nothing (so far- knock on wood!).
This is where ppl come to get answers - so it seems that health issues are abundant. However, considering that yorkies are the 2nd most registered dog per the AKC -there are a lot of them out there.
The best advice I have - and others will say the same - do your homework on the breeder to lessen the possibility of any serious issues.
Good luck and welcome to YT - glad to have ya!!
