I'm getting a dna test done. Then what?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yorkiemommy1984 · 05-14-2013, 01:28 AM

With Minnie recently being diagnosed with demodex would this have anything to do with lack of hair?? Or hair growth in general??

Yorkiemom1 · 05-14-2013, 01:44 AM

Demodex most certainly cause rash and tiny bumps and sparce hair....the "generic" name for demodex is "red mange"....while it can cause the hair to be sparce in spots, it does not have the effect of making a Yorkies coat look like a Chihuahuas short coat, for example.

I figured that for the most part. Like magically she'll get fluffy lol I'm sure the breeder will try blaming it on that when the tests come back tho haha. Who knows haha. It is on her face tho which is good knowing it mite full in a lil more. The once thing I did notice since I started using the shampoo stuff for it is where they scrapped to test on her nose is now grayish in color. Does this mean its starting to grow back and being there's no Grey is thst normal lol

Hi, so sorry to read of the trouble your having, it's an awful feeling that you have been lied to. From the little bit of reading I have done about the condition it can cause hair loss and fine bumps on the skin. Minnie is gorgeous what ever the breed turns out to be, and lucky she looks like she will stay Black and Tan

Yorkiemommy1984 · 05-14-2013, 02:06 AM

Besides her having the Demotex we are very lucky that she is healthy cuz who else knows what the breeder lied about because the skin condition is from the mom which means mom has it why wasnt I told about it. Surprise surprise. I'm not going to tell her about it tho until the results are in n then ill b interested whst she has to say about everything it could b a very interesting conversation lol

Good luck with that conversation. I'd love to be a fly on the wall

You've been a great mommy to little Minnie! She's lucky to have you.

Yorkiemom1 · 05-14-2013, 03:42 AM

The problem with this mite that causes this skin condition, is ALL dogs have the mite...it is only when the immune system is undeveloped or immature or stressed, like it can be with pregnancy, or flawed, that the mite will make an appearance. A momma that has this, can have a litter of puppies and maybe only one or two from the entire litter will be affected, so it is not something that can be predicted....when those babies immune systems mature, the mites and the problems they cause will disappear back into the hair follicle.....but if the pup has an immune system that is weakened or flawed, this can be an issue for the life of the pup.

It's nice how with the dna test they have updates available. You are able to see the status through out the whole process and it has the countdown of how many days until the results are in. I have 15 days yet. It seems like its taking forever lol. And with Minnie having demodex I want to wait until I have the results before I say anything to the breeder abd that's killing me as well. How long do you have til ur results are in what are you thinking is ur lil one

DBlain · 05-24-2013, 05:49 AM

can't wait to hear the outcome, I am glad you love your pup and she is a cutie but I hate the thought of breeders even if they sell cheap to lie to someone. Hope the skin problem clears up soon

Teresiana · 05-24-2013, 06:45 AM

I'm eager to hear the results too. I'm really bad at guessing mixes. I'm no dog expert & I don't really know much about breeds other than Yorkies. Lol. I had a Wisdom Panel test done. It took FOREVER. I think I had to wait 6 weeks or something like that. It actually didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I was told my pup was half Yorkie/half Maltese. And she is in fact an F1 Morkie. It was fun to read the report though.

baboon28 · 05-25-2013, 03:45 PM

hey Jen its me Cristina I was on yorkie talk, because we wanted to see Minnie and I came across your blog please call me so we can discuss this matter right away

baboon28 · 05-25-2013, 04:55 PM

Hi my name is cristina i am the breeder of minnie, and i do not appreciate this post back and forth from yorkiemommy1984. My yorkies are 100% yorkie i would never sell a mixed breed dog to anyone, i have papers, pedigree, and certifivates stamped by the aca registration. Yokiemommy1984 can sit there and tell you how much she thinks im fake, i lie, i dont have feelings when she is absoultley wrong and i hope she can back he stuff up when she does get her results back, and really sell puppies to fill my wallet are u seriuos do u know how exspensive it is to raise puppies from newborn to 8 weeks. The puppies i breed are like my children, so to everyone who is telling her that minnie is not purebreed i hope you all have alot of apologies when she tells you all that minnie is a unique beautiful purebreed yorkshire terrier. I meet with her sevearal times sent pics videos and everything i could possibly do, she never came at me with any questions about minnies progress so really after all these months she sounds like the fake one!!!!! Im very sorry but i do not appreciate you all saying these horiible things about me because of what u she tells you if u have any questions concerns dont go to yorkiemommy1984 cause she does not know anything about yorkies but i do!!! ( and really a chorkie are you serious!!!!!!

SophieKatesMom · 05-25-2013, 05:02 PM

Your post made me go back and read the entire thread, no one is calling you a liar (that I can see). I am not familliar with the ACA registry and cannot speak to their practices but Minnie's Mom has every right to have her DNA tested after all it is her dog whom she has said she loves, adores and does not care the outcome.

My bigger concern if I were you would be the Mites.
