I do not know enough about roach back to answer your questions at all. But seems to me IF it can be passed on....I would certainly not breed that pup. It would be time to neuter, and keep him as a pet. I would definitely not breed any dog who has a defect that could be passed on to the puppies, peroid.
Not trying to sound harsh here, thats just my opinion, only.
I hope you get the answers to the rest of your questions about roach back. |
Nope not going to yell at you, LOL
BUt if you truly want a very nice puppy that you want to bring into a breeding program, you really can't buy anything much under 9 months of age as they change so much in that time. Toplines can go off and come back but I wouldn't be paying for a pup that has a topline off that I want to use in my breeding program hoping it will correct. That is up to the breeder to do, hang onto it and 'run it on' meaning wait and see what you have. Bites in an older pup can even go off.
Colour in Yorkies is anotehr big issue as well as size. Size is not more determinable until over 6 months, colour can go light even at a year.
Certainly under six months, except in extreme small or big, the only thing you know for sure is that it is a Yorkie, providing you bought from someone reputable and not someone who actually sold you a cross, and whether it is male or female, little else.
