Labs have hips, Cockers have eyes and skin- every dog has their issues and even if you DO get from a reputable breeder- they still may have some issues- Layla came from a great breeder and she has pancreatitis- nothing to do with breeding- just luck of the draw. Do your research and buy from good breeder who does genetic testing. |
I agree. Also breeding them too small often complicates things, like liver shunts. But also yorkies are small and if they lick or eat something that's not good for them they can get sick too, and that has nothing to do with genetics. You just always have to be watching out for them. They are like forever 2 year old humans! But soooo worth it!
