Hello,
I'm new here, too. But I have an 11 year old, no papers, no past, but VERY NEUTERED Yorkie, "Chipper". Chipper's hypoglycemic so we had him neutered at six months. Now we have a little girl Yorkie, "Mini", due to whelp on October 24th. The 'ol man, Chipper, started humping on her when she first came in season, and still does! Nothing downstairs, but I guess it's still upstairs.
Breed him? Yes! Lots of people want tiny's. But do get a Vet Good Bill of Health for both your stud and the female you find. These AKC Yorkie puppies are selling now for a bloody fortune, but there are A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WANT A MINI YORKIE AS A PET. And, will pay $300-$500. So, either charge $150 the first time ... no guarantee he's viable ... or take pick of litter, and sell the puppy.
I know a lot of Breeders do not want unpapered Yorkies out there ... but, c'mon, not a lot of people (who would make wonderful owners) can afford the prices!
