I'm not sure that sentence on the UT website came from Dr. Tobias..it could have easily been someone else. The only way I could imagine to come up with that figure of 36X would be to average the incidence among all breeds and you might arrive at some high figure for the Yorkshire, since some breeds have a very low incidence. I don't even then see how it could that much higher than all breeds combined, but rather the average for all breeds period. Still, the % for the Havanese sticks out like a sore thumb and makes the 36X figure misleading because, if by some logic the Yorkshire is 36X what must the Havanese be?
