This is one of the reasons the YTCA is now pushing for the DNA testing. Today, I would not buy a dog without it. It is not the all in all, but it is a step forward. And it is not too expensive. Of course the best is an honest breeder! |
Hi! I'm new here and looking to find a reputable breeder not to far from Bergen County, NJ... any suggestions? I've had 2 yorkies in the past that had a slew of health issues that I purchased at a pet store and want to avoid at all costs!
