12 wk pup with beastbone fault

Hi.. I am considering this one yorkie... on th ebigger side, female with this breastbone that protrudes a bit.. is it a health problem?? or can she lead a healthy normal life.. she would only be a pet .. no breeding. What causes that..? thanks.Kim

I personally do not think this causes any physical problems in the future. In a Yorkshire Book, the chest is described only in color not in size. Invest in a book about these little guys, interesting reading, better yet search on the web. Also, if the concern is great, see your Vet with the pup. Good Luck.
