While the parents of this guy are all tested she offered it as a comfort more than anything. The breeder has a full health guarantee, but for me I will feel better knowing we checked as much as we could first. This test checks for 200+ markers. |
If you are referring to something like the embark test only a few of those actually work in yorkies which is one of the reasons I have not gotten it done. You can’t do the liver testing until 16 weeks either so the breeder won’t be able to do that test. Here is a link to the recommended tests that should be done before breeding
