Yes, and in the future when the Biewer's are their own breed here, people will be asking the same thing about the disease as we are now of the standard yorkies. Someone just said something about it being overkill to spay/neuter healthy pups out of parents that have thrown LS pups, but I do not believe that is over kill. To me that is being responsible as a breeder. Even if the other pups appear healthy they can be carriers of the problem, and should not breed. There are plenty of healthy dogs out there that do not produce any genetic problems, that we can work with. I don't just test my breeding pair, but also the puppies that are produced to make sure that they don't show up with the inherited LS. It is not very hard on the pups to be tested, and it sure sets my mind at ease. When I look on the internet and see people selling yorkies for 2000 to 5000 without any health guarntees, or tests for the inherited problems, I don't feel that I am asking too much for my pups that are sold with all shots, microchips, bile acid tested, legs tested, and the puppy package of home goodies. My pets go for around 1200 with the spay/neuter contract for pets, and if a show potential 1500+. That is my current prices but can change as time goes on. I know when I send the pup out, that it is healthy and has been well treated, and I expect the new parents to do the same. I expect to keep in touch will all the owners of my dogs until I die.
