Just wanted to ask a question. My Maddie is registered CKC. Her daddy is an AKC yorkie, and her mom a CKC. Her mom has actually since passed away. I had a deposit on another puppy from her breeder before I got Sophie and when I found out the circumstances of her mother's death I IMMEDIATELY withdrew my deposit (luckily he gave it back) and found a reputable breeder in the area (where I got Soph).

Here's the sad story: I was talking to the breeder on the phone in July, excited about getting my second baby, and I happened to ask him how Maddie's mommy was doing. He stated that she was "dead" and I proceeded to ask him about the circumstances. He reluctantly told me the details. First of all, let me say that Maddie was born in October 06. When I got her (I was a new Yorkie mommy and didn't know much about them yet) and wanted to see the parents I saw her dad, but was told that her mom was at the vet because of a calcium drop. So anyways, back to the story, he told me that "a few months ago", which HAD to have been Maddie's mother's NEXT heat after having Maddie's litter (because Maddie isn't even a year old), she was due to have puppies and she DIED in route to the vet. Apparently she had "too many" puppies and she had a "heart attack" in the car on the way there. I was very upset and demanded the money back that I had for the deposit on my new baby from him. I had never gotten an impression like that from him before, because I was very happy with Maddie from the beginning, but after I did a lot of research, I figured out that he's obviously a BYB. I later found out that he has hundreds of dogs and is basically running a puppy mill sort of situation. I am SO glad I didn't get another one from him.

Anyways, Maddie is my baby, and I would LOVE for her to have puppies one day. However, I really need to know what kind of things she should be tested for prior to having pups. Also, I really wanted to know if there is ANY way she can be AKC registered. I have heard of getting DNA tests, but is that true? Thanks in advance.
