I also wanted to add that just 2 weeks ago, I was drawn to a beautiful Yorkie at the park, or so I thought. We got to talking and seems that this seemingly purebred Yorkie I was adoring was a Yorkie/Maltese MIX. I swear it looked like a full-blooded Yorkie. There was NO white on that dog and was about 6lbs at 5 years old. I was totally amazed that this dog was a MIX. Just something to think about.
I don't want you to feel "bashed" or "attacked" -- we are just wanting to prevent more future shelter dogs. Not saying the dogs your male would produce would end up in a shelter -- only that there are already too many in shelters and most people want proven (w/ papers) purebred dogs.
