To the breeders out there, I am considering breeding, but will not do my own yorkie breeding for about another 2 years. I have Luca Dean, a 5 month yorkie, who falls pretty well within the AKC standard as long as his hair becomes silky. How much is the usual fee for stud service -- I've heard a few hundred or the choice of pick of the litter. I want to raise AKC yorkies and maybe even show yorkies (again, later). Should I start off using Luca Dean as a stud and choose a few "picks of the litter," or approach it some other way?

I will be totally new at this and want to raise healthy yorkies (or make sure the dam's owners are raising healthy yorkies even if I don't breed myself for a few years ...). I also want yorkies that conform well to the AKC standard. How do you, as a breeder, make the decision to breed or not breed certain yorkies? Do you base it on heredity and how well the two you want to breed conform only, or are there other factors? Guess I've asked enough for one thread!!!
