It will take a VERY ling time to get a good founation bitch. Majority of quality breeders will be very leery and reluctant to let one of their girls go to someone who plans to breed.
I bought my first yorkie (for pet) 5 years ago, a nother a year later. Then I decided I wanted to raise yorkies...still no more yorkies since my first two pets.
I talk with breeder see what they want, I am busy with my life and trying to set it up so that raising yorkies will fit with my lifestyle (I changed careers and became a dog groomer so my pets can come to work with me and I own my own salon so I set my hours, decide when to come to work).
Someday I know there will be a breeder who is willing to part with a yorkie that will be show quality (I feel for my breeding program I want finished yorkies in the show ring) and willing to let a novice have a chance.
It will take time, my quest has been going for 4 years, I want to know everything I can, be prepared. I never want to run into a problem and look back and think, If only I was more prepared, informed, etc.
You will find that yorkie, one for a pet is a great start. For me there is nothing like them, they have a personality of their own, a big dog in a little body!
Talk openly with breeders you are interested in, tell them what you want and ask them what they would want to see you do to acheive a puppy from them.
Good luck, it will be worth the patience and hard work.
