There is not really a lot there to make a good judgement but I will tell you this bothers me:
The pictures above were taken of Lilyashly"s BabyBear the night before she died. She was six months old and weighed 1 lb. 8 oz. She was barely the size of a five week old puppy. We don't know for certain, but think she died of a stroke or heart attack. She had a head injury as a newborn and probably would always have problems had she survived. BabyBear seemed much like a handicapped child and had to relearn everything. At five months, the five week old puppies were ahead of her in motor skills and interest in food. She would seem to improve and then would have a setback. I became so very attached to her sweet, strong spirit, hand-feeding her and watching over her. Her passing left a definite empty place in my heart. Sweet dreams, little one.

I think any breeder of Yorkies should always be considering Liver Shunt but at the very lease this breeder should have had a neocropys done to determine why this little one didn't grow and what did she died of?
A reputable breeder knows how high LS is in these dogs and would want to make sure they are not breeding it...IMHO.
I would look somewhere else for a puppy.
