Unfortunately Yorkies are a tough breed to raise, lots of hazards, more to learn all the time. My stud boys do have issues that not everyone would want to deal with in a pet, so there is that to consider. I would say, if you seriously want to begin breeding, spend some more time learning everything you can about them and save up to buy some really terrific specimens, that you will be proud to produce quality pups with.

I really appriciate that. Keeping Harley as just my pet has come across my mind more times than I can even count. I don't want to lose my first baby. In a perfect world I want to be able to purchase the best male and female I can find (w/ price as the last worry on my mind) so that I have no reservations of whether I am breeding to produce the most perfect pups I can possibly breed. I intend on making breeding dogs, boarding dogs and everything else to do w/ dogs my entire life. It won't be a business to me it is going to be my lifestyle. I never intend on showing any dogs bc that's just not my area of interest. But I would most definately want my pups to have a background that originated from the show ring. I intend on hopefully breeding puppies from healthy and sucessful champions and placing them in loving, devoted homes as pets. Thanks for not putting me down bc I'm so new to this.
I guess everyone has to start somewhere.
