Yorkies and Biewers share a commond bond....and argueing and being defensive will not get anyone anywhere. We should all be working towards a goal of stamping out Genetic Diseases.
In doing my own research on the testing method...while I applaud any breeder of any breed attempting to eliminate genetic illnesses in their breeds...the fault of this testing method is it simply eliminates whether or not the breeding pair has the disease and not if they are carriers. Unfortunately it is carriers of some diseases...when mated with another carrier causes the disease or condition in the puppy.
