I have hope that I can evolve even closer to perfection to minimize any health issues..just as I do with my Yorkies..who also have LS.
I am prepared to focus on a small gene pool to see what I produce. If the litters are healthy and within the standard I will go for the next litter..if I get the opposite of what I strive...I will NOT repeat that breeding! Now, my emphasis is on health first..To me that's hard to deal with than markings and colors.
Trudy, thanks for your input..was that you doing a LS study? Or was that someone else? I'd be interested in tracking both my Yorkies and my Biewers. |
Darinda has a lot of the pedigrees that were collected from dogs that had Liver Shunt. I can give you her email if you would like to have her talk to you. Email me privately at
