The reasons you gave for breeding are not valid.

By your standards, perhaps. But again, that is a personal opinion.

Did you have the breeding pair evaluated?

Yes. Earlier, when we were considering spaying Jorja we had them both evaluated/examined by the two vets and a breeder who was neither dog's breeder.

Were all the required tests performed on both? CERFs, OFA'd, bile-acids? These tests only inform you that the breeding pair do not have such afflictions associated with the tests, but it doesn't guarantee that their off-spring won't. Since this was an oops breeding, I don't think you had a smear done on both of them to make sure they had no infection that could cause a problem to the fetus.

Required by whom? Kennel Clubs? I don't care if my yorkies are registered or shown for that matter and I will not be suggesting to anyone who takes one of Jorja's pups that they
are so that is a moot point. A good veterinarian (even though not breed-specific in her/his training & education) will be able to diagnose orthopedic, visual, liver, and any other problems. Which neither of these two Yorkies have.
No, a smear was not done in time, much to my chagrin.
Like I said in an earlier reply, it's too bad that this kind of questioning is not done on people before they reproduce. Sheesh!
