Punishing a dog for a natural instinct should never be considered. He is likely doing his marking making darn sure you don't know about it.
If you bought your Yorkie for a pet have it spayed/neutered and enjoy it as a pet.
Having it tested will not ensure the dog or bitch in question is not carrying the genetic code for genetic problems like Legge-perthes or liver shunt. If you don't know what these are or how they can occur or whether or not they could be in the background at least 5 generations of the pedigree of your dogs you are wanting to breed, then you have no business breeding them. |
