The lady who has the male i bred my two dogs to has been known to breed tiny yorkies and have c-sections. I would never do that. I bought my first yorkie from her and she died a couple of months later. I didn't have an ortopsie, but i feel like it might have been shunts. I bought another yorkie from another lady and i have never had any problems with her. I shouldn't have bred her with the first lady's dog, but she told me since the pup i bought from her died that i could breed for free. She ended up having two females and i gave one to my daughter and kept the tiney one. They both have humps on their backs. I just thought that was the way some yorkies were shaped, but i did take notice to it.Thanks for the information.
