Your first step would be to make sure that your dog is a good candidate to stud. Have a judge, yorkie handler, or breeder go over him to make sure that he is a good representation of the breed. We have so many low quality pets being bred that our beloved yorkies don't even look like themselves half the time. Have any doubts? Take a look at puppyfind, you can tell the difference between a well bred yorkie and one that is not. Second, have him tested for genetic or health problems. Third, devise a good contract to protect yourself and your client. If your dog has passed the tests and is old enough, be aware that he will change after he has been bred. Connor doesn't mark until one of my gals are in heat but his performance in the ring has changed and he challenges other dogs now. Breeding is not for the faint hearted or the unimformed. As the stud owner you would be responsible for these little lives as much as the dams owner. Get your education, decide carefully.
