What concerns me is what are the effects of recessive gene breeding. I know that in humans it is responsible for some very devistating diseases. I have a great niece with Frasier Syndrome that came from her parents recessive genes. It broke up their family and has changed their lives forever. Has any research been done on the breed to see if there are higher incedence of liver shunt or other problems that are gene related? I would be interested in reading that and learning more. For me I fell in love with the Yorkshire Terrier and have no desire to own any other breed.
