While studying genetics is a great asset, there is no absolutes in this breed. As most breeders will tell the breed is difficult to get exacts with. You can't breed pheno type to pheno type as you do with say Poodles and know what you're going to produce. Most judges will tell you that it is a difficult breed to judge. No absolutes. |
Is this why we see so many more health issue on the forum? I've never even heard of some of these illness in other breed. How much of these illness could be prevented by responsible breeding?
What is it about the Yorkshire Terrier genetic makeup that makes them so much more at risk?
