1st question is, why do you want to breed her? if it is for her to experience being a mommy, or you want one of her babies, or you want to give one to a family member or friend, or you want to make money is not a reason to breed. like the post above, there is a lot to consider and the biggest factor is you could loose the mommy. if you read on the past post here in the breeder section, you will see where people who have lost the mommy and/or the whole litter.
the other thing is the market is flooded with yorkies and mostly of poor quality. is she a good quality of the standard? any defects she may carrier down to her offspring. were her parents of good quality standard?
to answer your question.....18 months is of good age if she is healthy, no genitic defects, and of good standard quality.
**** this all goes for the stud as well ****
there will be many heartaches if she or the stud has genetic faults that may be passed on onto the offspring....you sell them, the owner will come back to you.
read all you can, read this forum under the breeder section. learn all you can. make the right decision.
