But when you take it beyond that, who knows?
YOU seem to be taking a very cautious and educated approach to what you are doing...looking to extend your efforts, not just breeding one generation of puppies to make a quick buck, supply what is in demand and then move on to the next best thing.
Thanks for your answers.  |
Unfortunately, the only way to answer all those "what if's" you speak of is to try. That's how you'll know this mix will work out, or that it won't. It's trial and error, and I'm assuming that's how our yorkies were developed. Trial and error until the traits that they were looking for were becoming consistent in their lines. Just an opinion since I wasn't there when the breed was developed
