Have a ? about roachback and dna testing
I bought my hubby a yorkie for his birthday and we all have fallen in love with her. i would like to buy myself a male yorkie possibly to breed with her. I have her AKC papers for the three generations & all have been dna tested and I have seen both of her parents. Her mom was about 5 pounds and long and her dad was 3 pounds and about as big as a minute. Whiskey looks like her mom in the face and has a lean torso. Her front legs are shorter than her back legs and I am concerned that she might be developing roachback-sometimes she has a hump and other times she doesn't. She does have alot of fluffy hair though. If her entire family was dna tested wouldn't roachback show up as it is a genetic defect? Like i said before i am interested in breeding her but am being cautious first. she is only five months old so breeding will be something in the far future. My mom has falling in love with her as have my grandparents and all of my aunts and they would love to have a little whiskey-baby of their very own. I would really lke some opinions but fair warning i am very-tender-hearted and my feeling get hurt easily-i can handle constructive criticism but don't blast me out of the water:
