Its not just health. You cant get a male one place and a female another and just because theyre pretty and healthy have the perfect yorkie.

I dont know alot about line breeding, but Im learning, and I know unless you know everything about both your dogs for about 8 generations, you could be in trouble.

Come on, dog lovers, all dogs are adorable in their mommies eyes. Perfect or not, but if people dont take breeding seriously, what happens in say 20 or 30 years from now maybe when our great grandkids want a yorkie. Will they look like yorkies then? Not if breeders are not serious. Good breeders breed for health, coat, posture, size, straight backs, correct size of head, nose, eyes, ears, ears that stand etc etc. If you have two that throw something not standard then they shouldnt be bred again.

I know this is going to upset lots of people, but if we want a yorkie to look like a yorkie years from now, we need to be consious of what the breed is and stands for.
