Further on the health tests. It is better if you cross verify by going to the health registry sites themselves. You will need the full registered name of the Yorkie parents.

You can start here www.chic.org this is a site that shows in one place some of the prebreeding/screening health tests done on Yorkies, CERF and OFA.

Or as this is a relatively new requirement and many breeders have yet to submit their paperwork to chic; go to www.ofa.org for hips, elbows, knees (again the registered name of parents is required) and for eyes; www.cerf.org. Oh yes and some breeders are preferring PennHip registry.

Liver Shunt testing has no main health database that I am aware of. Here you will need to see the Lab report on the test results for the breeding pair.

Hyperurocosuria - Bladder stones. Go to University of davis.

Cardio myleopathy - no health database

Kidney/Liver disease - no health database

On the AKC website www.akc.org you can check out the breeding pair's record of wins

Also please check out the horizontal pedigree as well as the vertical pedigree. The vertical pedigree roughly speaking is that which is father/mother, grandfather/mother, greatgrand parents. The horizontal pedigree looks at siblings of the litter the parents come from. There are some studies which suggest that polygenetic conditions such as hip/elbow dysplasia is more accurately predicted by looking at within a certain litter, how many of that litter has/have the condition.

Good luck with your search.

Anyway good luck finding your pup! I wish I did more research and bought from a more reputable breeder before buying my little one..he has grade iv lp and he's only 1 ): but I still love my pup all the same (:

Wikipedia...:rolleyes:
LOL everyone from So Cal and the Bay thinks the Bay is Nor Cal...its those of us in Nor Cal that know better...:D...ye that an geographically...I'm being silly...but it genuinely is a rather sore spot for many Nor Cal residents...we do exist...from Santa Rosa to the OR boarder.

OP-Many Parti breeders are now using chic. cerf and OFA to legitimized their lines...I'm not sure about Biewers or the Biewer club of America...or the Parti clubs stances as they are several many of them and the "regulations" change between clubs...
