The % rate on yorkies does come from Dr Tobias's research program....I know there have been countless #s that have been made of available. However, I don't know if Dr Center's #s figure into the equation.......

Either way it's a nasty disease in any breed....but, there are others and yes it's a crap shoot. Even testing your dogs prior to breeding is no guarantee as there is no DNA marker.....you can prove our dog is clear, but not prove that it is not carrier.
