We in the US have established the CHIC Foundation. Yorkies will now have to undergo tests before a top dog can obtain top titles.

Mary is this new rule found on the YTCA website, I went to CHIC and as yet they don't have the test recommendations up. I haven't sent in Razz's info to CHIC yet. I still need CERF done too.
