And hopefully healthy as horses ! That's my aim---healthy-- good movement ---happy puppies and adults. If I did get a pup less than healthy I'd find it a forever home and place it FREE ---NO PAPERS ! And the Adults that produced it would be taken out of my breeding program !

Thats what I'm saying, you want to breed for health so why not health test your dogs? Why take the chance to produce a problem instead of taking the measures to prevent the problem and do the testing. "Bad legs" aren't the only thing effecting yorkies you know, there are other diseases out there that can be detected with health testing.

Then you won't have to risk a puppy by breeding a dog that hasn't been health tested. Even yorkies who are still ratters and "barn dogs" should be health tested. If not then how can you insure it is health enough to do it job properly?
