I am no expert but here's my 2 cents. I don't think dogs have to be perfect before they are bred, but they need to be close to their standard. You can take a dog with ears on the larger side, breed him with a dog with smaller ears and that is trying to enhance the line. You can take a dog that is maybe a little light (not completely faded out) and breed her with a dog with richer color to try to bring color back to the line. Small deviations from the standard can be worked with.
Here is a quote from Yorkshire Terrier Club of America "
All responsible breeders strive to produce dogs that conform to this Breed Standard. Yorkshire Terriers with major deviations from that Standard in appearance should not be bred. "
Your dog definately has
major deviations. I would spay the big, light-colored gal and let her live a long, healthy life as the love of your life!
Your yorkie is just as important, just as lovable, and just as good of a pet as any on here. But some should be bred and some should not. Listen to the experienced breeders here. They are giving good advice and trying to protect the future of the Yorkshire Terrier. Also consider the health risks to your girl when breeding. You never know when you might lose a dog due to birth complications.
