Does anyone know anyone who linebreeds?
My advice to you is to make sure any dog you purchase is tested for genetic defects. Study, the line very carefully, know the breeder. Buy from a breeder that has been breeding/exhibiting a number of years, with a good
track record. It's not a simple going out and finding breeder that line breeds. Someone that is well known in the yorkie world for their reputation in producing healthy, sound dogs that are a wonderful representation of the breed

Finding such a person is the first step. However, obtaining a stud from that person will not be that easy.
