I also like what you posted here!!! sounds like you are right on track to a great breeding program. More breeders should strive for this in there program and maybe we would have more healthy sound yorkshire terriers. and if all of the breeders would get on the same page we could preserve the breed before it is too late.

| Question about LP How do you all specifically test your breeding dogs for LP? Does your vet just feel the joint and okay it? Do you have x-rays done? Would like more info about testing for LP

| Exactly, but I know of a case where the breeder was a show breeder and did not care less. not all show breeders do what they should do neither.. there show dogs are important to them, but not always the pet quality. |

But of an experience I had.. I live for my yorkies, and they are my life.. when I got a girl from this show breeder and she got parvo, and was so aggressive she just wanted to kill my other two yorkies, a tiny, and an old girl. she just called me an idiot and I placed that dog with my daughter.. she does not take the dog for walks,. but she has calmed down over years.. this show breeder has a huge huge attitude.. you do not call a person an idot because you do not like that fact they spoke honestly with you about a behaviour of one of your yorkies.. I in face sent this email to yet another show breeder that is very big,, I deleted the name and left nothing for anyone to know who she was.. this breeder came back and told me exactly who the breeder was as she said she would be the only one I know that would talk down like that to anyone.. So when I speak, I do so from my experience.. I love reading from you show breeders that know more then I do.. absolutely love it.. I am just a blunt person, but mean no harm to any of you.. | |

| I certainly agree with you.. the puppy's I have sold I keep in contact with all the new parents.. I would not have it any other way...I had a stud, was not genitically good, the minute I knew, he was no longer used as a stud.. but my best friend was given this dog to love and I get the best of both worlds.. I get to see him all the time also.. just because he was not good enough for what I wanted, that does not mean I care less about him.. |

You are so right about that. You can only take responsibilty for what is yours! And lead by example. Like the old saying goes you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink!!!!! | |

it will show adnormality that is a none fact. That is why before I send my pups home anywhere from 12-14 wks I get the blood panel first then the shots my vet who is a holistic vet would nerver do anything different. This test does not show if there is a liver shunt but will tell you if there is any adnormilties going on and if there is further your testing. jwid. | |

| Michelle, you are so knowledgeable about the Yorkshire Terrier breed. You would make a wonderful breeder. Have you considered breeding? You are the only one I have seen that actually asked questions about testing and the details on it...

and where and what the breeder believes in testing ect. before you purchase your baby. Don't buy first and be heart broken down the line to find out it is sick or has a crippling gentic problem. You will be attached then what? Michelle more people should be like you!!! Kathy About LP I have my vet check my puppys before they leave my hoome anywhere from 12-14 wks. they can tell if there is a problem and if they find it will recomend a xray. I am going to have any breeding dogs get ofa just for my piece of mind. Hips are not a issue in yorkies at this time but other problems can be detected. | |
