I use to be pro ytca all the way, but you can only be burnt and hurt so many times. I feel if you are the parent club, you should set an example and make sure all your members breed smart with health being the number 1 concern, not conformation. As they say follow by example. |
You are right about health issues in the yorshire terrier. This breed does have many health concerns we should all be aware of. As well as the testing, education, and continued education to keep up with changes. There is much to consider regarding the well-being of a healthy dog.
What should we worry about the most? Everything! It is all important! It all matters more than anything else! This is why nobody should breed willy nilly. Even with all the testing, things happen. It's what you do about it that matters.
