I have learned that I can NEVER go back to a Biewer with any of my dogs that have ANY Biewer in them.. or I just wait for the shoe to drop and another poor dog to suffer.

Yes.. the Yorkies have seizures too.. but in no where NEAR the numbers we are seeing in the Biewers. My friend has been breeding yorkies for 30 years and could count on one hand the number of yorkies she's HEARD of with seizures.. not the case with the Biewer population that's for sure!

Thatts why I wondered too because you dont really hear of seizures with the yorkies. With the yorkies it is liver shunt
