i have heard and about it and i actually met a mute yorkie years ago... she is healthy otherwise. I would think that the biggest challenge is how would they call for help if they ever need to do so....
Other than that all else should be fine...
I would never breed, for clear reasons, to produce mute or near mute dogs... well... it may be just as bad as a "yapper"...
