| I'm considering breeding.....?'s Ok so here is the story I was working a full time job but decided to stop working so I could be home with my son before and after school. I have been thinking about breeding and reading a lot. I'm not doing it for the money I love my dog and think this would give me something to do to take some of my spare time away. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or if they have any websites, books, ect they would recommend. I wouldn't start doing this for probaby another year or two if I do so I can learn as much as possible prior. We will be moving to a small town and there aren't any breeders in the area. I was thinking this would give people a chance to own a puppy that is brought up well. I have also been checking into seeing which companies offer samples of their products so if I decide I could make sure each new parent had a starter kit and information. If they don't offer samples than that is something I will work on providing myself. I have already compiled a list of things I wish I had knew to start making information sheets for the new parents. Sorry that got a little long didn't want someone to just think I have decided to do this for the money, or some other strange reason. If I am a breeder I want to be one that new parents can call to answer any ?'s they may have. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I appreciate the fact that you're trying to educate yourself about breeding beforehand....however...IMO, there are way too many dog breeders out there already, why add to the problem of pet overpopulation? LOL....about spare time (with having a child) - just where do you find that?

In regards to having spare time with a child it isn't that hard to do. Its being organized and having a schedule we stick too. We do a lot, but there is always time when hes in school, ect. Everyone is entitled to their oponion and yours is not to breed which is fine with me. I am really looking for advice from people who do breed so I can make an informed decision. Thanks for your advice though. | |

| I think it is wise to educate yourself on breeding. The best breeders are ones that try to BETTER the breed and do so by establishing a good, well organized breeding program. It takes research, mentors, some travel (you do want to check out prospects), and money. I hope that it works out for you ...... and for the betterment of the Yorkshire breed. Good Luck!

| I suggest that you obtain some genetic and breeding seminars. In addition, if you haven't already begun to, attend some dog shows (this will help you determine your type of yorkie), talk to breeders first hand....familiarize yourself with the standard. And most of all, start with the best foundation that your money can buy.....health, conformation, temperament are the uptmost of importance....

| I ran across this site the other day that has some amazing information on it. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia And this one is another good one: Canine Reproduction Video and Book on Breeding and Whelping dogs by Debbie Jensen for dog breeders and Whelping Supplies needed to deliver puppies. Just keep asking questions. Find someone near you that can mentor you. If nobody is near you, there's lots of us here that can offer help and advice as well. Good luck!

| A great article in the March April May Issue of The Yorkshire Terrier Magazine by Tom Horner..... "BREEDERS SHOULD HAVE A GOAL.......The More Definite The Better. It speaks too being a successful breeder.....The first great hurdle for the successful breeder is to recognize a high class dog when he sees one.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Here's a referral list of the YTCA breeders, in Florida: Yorkshire Terrier Club of America About The Club, maybe you could find someone who is willing to mentor you. I think attending shows is a great way to learn about the breed, and develop and "eye" for the breed.
