To answer your inbreeding question...yes it would've been necessary.
The genetic diseases which affect yorkshire terriers is the same for biewers.
And lastly ....parti yorkshire terriers have been born to a pair of standard colored yorkies. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...r-morning.html |
Thank you for answering my questions
Whichever breed they are or aren't they are beautiful dogs!
