One thing that is appearing in the Biewers is Liver Shunt. Seeing as I have a dog that had Liver Shunt I have been involved in lists that educate and help liver shunt dogs and a Biewer here in the US developed LiverShunt, and it was put on the internet, although the owner was quite put out about it being known. They are just as prone to the health problems as our standard yorkies are, especially as they originally came from the breeding of yorkies. You can't eliminate health problems by creating a new breed from one that has these problems. |
