Since you say you have a year its best to begin these relationships now and learn from them by hands on experience and perhaps once a bond has been made they will let you come for a whelping.

Your little gal should be sturdy in build and weigh over 5lbs. She should have as few faults as possible to be considered a good canidate for breeding JMO.

hope this helps get you started

Buy Joan Gordons "the new complete yorkshire terrier"


Hey you- your taking my line by stating to buy Joan and Janet's Book. LOL

Look for someone in your area- make sure that if you want show mentor- they show themselves do not just buy finished dogs or you can hook up with a handler of your breed. If you are looking for a breeder make sure they breed Yorkies. Try and find someone who long in the tooth ( has experience). Make sure that you like this person and can form a learning bond. Check with your local kennel club and there are also regional Yorkshire terrier clubs .
