Welcome to a great forum where you will find passionate people who give great advice-sometimes not what we want to hear, but can still be the truth. As for studding your unproven male..you are going to have a hard time finding a responsible breeder who wil chance using their female on an unproven male whose background might not be known. I am not talking about the ch in his line. There is so much more to breeding responsibly that that. Pat and I have seen some pretty ghastly babies out of a ch. line. I am talking about all of the health issues, genetics, possible behavioral issues to name a few.
You do not have to wait to see his color change to register him. If you wait that long his AKC reg will go up considerably. You can always reg his colors the same as his mother. That is what AKC has told me in the past.
This might sound harsh and I do not mean to hurt anyone's feelings but-(doncha hate that "but"?) the fact that your baby has a nice personality and is frisky and cute, does not necessarily make him good breeding material. I love my male pets but I have never used them for studding so I have been able to house-train them. My studs do mark, they wear belly bands which work as a sorta diaper that needs to be changed at least 3 times a day, clean sanitary pad put on the band and after he is washed with baby wipes, allowed to dry and have powder put on him "down there". It is like having a baby in the house. In my experience, studs are a real handfull but I do love my Yorkie boys. I will not use a pet as a stud if I want him as a companion animal. So, please think twice and more before deciding to stud him out. And, there is almost NO money made in breeding Yorkies when it is done right.
Give him Yorkie Smoochies from Rini's cuties. |
