I am going to say that I will do everything that I am suppose to do test wise with my female and make sure the male has been tested also. I am going to say that I want to do this because it is very hard to find the qualities that I personally like in a yorkie. But the more I read the more I question myself, should I do this? I am a person who is about doing the right thing by other people. Am I wrong in wanting to do this? |
Follow your dreams.. just do it right.. make sure your breeding healthy for starters.. if this is a dream and your young enough, try getting a mentor.. have integrity. That is a huge word in my books..
Ask lots of questions, I do not think you need to be a show breeder to produce good healthy baby's that you stand behind.. make sure you really really find a good breeder to get you going.. NOT one that is only caring about the fast buck selling an unlimited yorkie to breed, when they could care less... it is just a money money thing..
And If there were more mentors wanting to help newbies.. it would make things much easier at the same time. I am not talking yters on any of this, but in general.. Ask some of our show breeders how hard it was to get started with show quality... I am sure you would gets lots of heartache and stories.. You also must be willing to spend on the ones that will not be suitable to breed.. Then rehome to the right person, like I have had to do.. that is not easy...
