Even though Yorkies can live a very long life with MVD, is it a chance you want to take. When I called to tell her what was wrong with our Piper, she stated she had never heard of this before. This is one of the TOP Issues with Yorkies. How could you breed dogs for as long as she has, and not know about this. She does not care about the dogs. She just wants your money. What happens after you buy them is all on you. Not a responsible breeder. All my friends, you have watched Piper fight for her life. Please share this so no one ever has to go thru what Tony, me and Piper had too. KO's K9 Yorkies & Maltese Photo Gallery | Old River-Winfree, TX |
I need to state that this is my opionion only. MVD has not been proven, since Piper was too sick to do a biopsy. Even tho the Dr's are 99% sure she has this. I can not prove it. I can not prove she is breeding sick dogs. I am just going off my horrifying experience and what the Dr's believe it to be.
But, the fact remains that this breeder stated she has never heard of MVD or Liver Shunts. I told her she needed to do her research. I have learned more about Yorkies in the last 12 days than this woman states she has in her 20 years of breeding. How can you be a responsible breeder if you do not know everything there is to know about the breed.
