| liver problems on the E. coast? When I had my pup at the vet she said that there are more problems with Yorkies and their livers that are from the east coast than from around where I live. She said it is due to more inbreeding. Now I'm a bit nervous because the pup I drove to get is from VA. Has anyone else heard anything like this before? omega |

| No -- I live in Georgia and that's news to me. Did your vet have any documentation to back up the claim? You can look at your pup's papers and determine if there is inbreeding in the past few generations. |
