Welcome to Yorkie talk. Okay, I am not a breeder but I am pretty sure the information below is what a breeder might tell you. Breeding is a huge responsibility and committment. There is so much that goes into it (I didn't even know until I joined YorkieTalk). It might be possible to breed your male to a female that is the same size or slightly smaller but she has to have the right frame for it and the female has to come from a line of free whelpers. You have to study both parent's bloodlines to make sure the pups won't be prone to liver shunt and other diseases common to Yorkies. Both parents should be within the Yorkie standard and it is a good idea to have a judge look them over. They both have to be tested for STDs, liver shunt, luxating patella... The females have to come to your house to breed with your male. If the puppies aren't selling you might have to be willing to provide some of them with a home. Finally, I know a lot of breeders who stay home with mom a few days before she delivers and weeks after. Could you do that at 13? I think it is awesome that a 13 year old loves Yorkies enough to breed but there is so much to think about.
