Shasta Yorkie's health guarantee excludes patellar luxation because it may be due to an environmental cause or trauma, and that doesn't sound correct to me. But I'm no expert. I would ask them what health testing they do and if they show (their dogs have champion lines, but that doesn't mean they're good representatives of the breed).
That other breeder said they breed "Porkies" which are a Pomeranian/Yorkie cross. Any breeder crossing breeds like that is NOT in it for the breed, and if they aren't breeding to improve the breed they have no right to be breeding. It is disgusting to breed Pomeranian/Yorkie crosses (crosses like that are a fad right now) because you can make money off stupid people who will pay $$$ for a mutt. I have NOTHING against mutts, but I absolutely have a bone to pick with people who purposely breed them or irresponsibly breed them on "accident."
