I'm sorry you felt made fun of, as I was not doing so... when I put LOL somewhere it's to keep things light hearted, not meant as laughing at someone. I have found nothing yet in this thread to be funny.
No one has told you to start with inferior dogs, and work your way up.. you've missed my point entirely there. The point is to LEARN everything you possibly can (which could take decades) from people exhibiting yorkies, not the people breeding pet yorkies. Learn about the standard, learn about health issues and how they are inherited, learn to be able to see a dog and know it's a well put together dog, and why.. and vice versa one who is not, and why.. learn to do this with your eyes and your hands, learn about pedigrees and bloodlines, and what works with what and what doesn't work. Learn what the flaws in your own dogs are so you can learn to choose a sire that will hopefully help to correct them. Learn about breeding and raising yorkies from an exhibitor, not a breeder who is not an exhibitor...go to shows, LOTS of shows, you don't have to talk to anyone at first, just watch. Buy a catalog and make notes in that catalog about what you're seeing. Do you see a dog crossing over in front? Write it down, do you see a downfaced muzzle? write it down.. even if you dont know what something is called, and the dog just doesn't look right to you, write it down..don't share this book with the exhibitors as you'll hurt their feelings and really tick some people off, then you'll get nowhere. Come home and talk to who will be hopefully your mentor and discuss what you saw at the show, why you liked the dog who won, who it was, what you didn't like, and let them explain things to you...why you saw what you saw, what creates that problem..how to avoid that problem..what lines do and don't have that problem. If you can do this for a few YEARS, under the guidance of a mentor...then you are headed in the right direction. That's what climbing the ladder is all about...it's about learning, not breeding. You have to be very humble, and very willing to listen and learn...breeding doesn't start by buying a dog with the parts to do it with, no matter how beautiful.. breeding starts with learning every last detail possible in not only what you're doing, but about the breed as a whole, and specificly about the dogs you're choosing to breed. How many times do we see people posting for help with newborn puppies on this forum? They've never bred before, they have no idea what they're doing because they didnt bother to learn, and now they're in trouble... you don't want to be one of those people, do you?
I'm sorry for coming off as so abrasive yesterday. I have a tremendous amount of love and passion for this breed, and when I see someone I feel being a detriment to it, it really gets me as we say in the south "fired up".
I hope you will take the advise of everyone on this forum and spend a lot of time learning, and put your plans to breed on a very far back burner.
I wanted to address something else you'd said about not wanting to be on a waiting list for your girl... Breeding requires TREMENDOUS patience. It is so not an instant gratification kind of thing...neither is getting the perfect (in your mind) little girl. Because we who breed for show dogs do not breed for small "cutesy" girls, it takes a while before we will get one. I've only had two EVER that would have fit the criteria you were probably looking for, because it's simply not what I breed for.. so if I get one, I consider it to be a failure on my part. the point is, it takes time to get what you want.. and if it's worth it, you'll put in that time. Do you not think we breeders aren't on a constant waiting list per se? I want a gorgeous new show puppy... so what do I do? I have to WAIT until I make one that is as close enough to my vision (and the yorkie standard!) as possible. I am SO Picky this could take me a very long time.. lol I have a litter due on Christmas that could very well bring me exactly what I want (and with my luck they'll be gorgeous, and all be boys!!!!).. so lets look at the time invested so far.. bitch's first litter.. so 2 years to raise the bitch, 2 months of pregnancy.. then once they're born, I'm going to put in another 8 or 9 months or longer to determine if what I've bred, and kept as potential is actually my next show dog or not... so when you add that up that's almost THREE YEARS I'm waiting for my next show puppy...and even still there's no guarantee I'm going to get what I want.. if the genetic dice don't roll the way I anticipate they will, then I'm back to square one. So the point is, great things... are worth waiting for.
I hope you'll take all of this into consideration...and just go on a mission to LEARN.
Best of luck to you!
