I do not have a yorkie, but I do have a 2.5 year old Maltese that has had medical issues since DAY ONE. He came home with pneumonia, then his aggression issues, bladder and kidney stones, and now he has been diagnosed with liver shunts after a very scary episode of H.E.

This liver shunt disease is HEREDITARY and should be tested for as soon as the puppies are born. This is my first dog, and I had only wish I knew about this sad disease.

Basically the McDowell's are either breeding or purchasing dogs from mills (Which i think is the case since they are in a puppy mill area), just to make a quick buck. They do not care about the health of your future puppy or the stress of its owners.

My dog will be undergoing surgery next week. He's been suffering for 2.5 years and it is not fair. Horrible "breeders"!!! do not support them.
