Ah! The fault lays at the breeders who are perpetuating issues and the breed will be obsolete. Then there are those that are breeding out side the standard, as in the yorkie; breeding tinies, doll faces (yes both creating serious health issues).

Yes, there are those breeds that have had issues, such as the King Charles heart problems. Breeders have banded together and worked together to eliminate/correct the problem. Although it has been a long haul, progress is being made.
