I just read through this whole thread. Is anyone not even concerned that the OP stated she wasn't even sure if the dam had had her shots; that she was going to the vets to get her checked over and get her shots??? And she gave birth!.

To the OP and Prospective Purchasers of these Puppies.

The most this OP can say prior to sale of these puppies, is that they are up to date on all shots, de wormed, and have been vet checked for basic health.

Due to the unknown parentage and health lineage of these puppies, I have no idea if these pups will remain healthy throughout their life.

Please be advised that Yorkshire Terrier Breed has some known Health concerns:
As follows:

LS = Liver Shunt Neither parent was screened for this prior breeding. Please do a BAT test on your puppy at 16wks old to check for this. Extrahepatic Liver Shunt surgery can run anywhere from $1500 - $2000

LP = Luxating Patella Unknown if either parent has this or if the puppies will. Higher grades of LP usually require surgery See costs as above

CT - Collaping Trachea - No idea if this is in their lines or not.

HD or Leggs Perthes Disease: - as the parents were never tested and I have no idea of the health lineage - Again there is a risk that your puppy may develop either one or both.

Eye Disease: PRA Progressive Retinal Atrophy - Cataracts Again as no pre breeding testing was done your puppy may develop this over their lifetime.

NB: Unless you have DNA;d the litter and the parents to prove parentage, the most you can say about the sire is that you ":believe it to be a male Yorkie"
