Thanks. So, as suspected, breeding a hairless Chinese crested with a yorkie, especially a blue born yorkie, is asking for a world of trouble. I truly feel sorry for these poor pups who did not ask to be born with every health problem that 2 unhealthy dogs can create and the pain and suffering they will have to endure. It breaks my heart!
