| Question for the Breeders Good Morning, I would like to know if you genetically test your sires and dams before breeding them. Also, if you have your yorkies genetically tested; what test do you request? Thanks!!! |

| I test all my breeding dogs for Liver-shunt before they are bred, and I also test any puppies that are produced because sometimes the disease can skip generations. I also have my dogs legs checked before breeding, althought luxating patella's can develope from jumping or falling, but it can also be inherited. |
