Default Breeding!

I'll be quick and try to be short....this is a sore subject for me,and I don't want to sound mean or rude. I firmly agree! If your friends and family want a Yorkie, there are plenty of qualified Breeders on the Internet or in your local papers. I have a male Yorkie that has not been nuetered, he is an absolute Angel. All of my family, friends and even people on the street want him/one. But for me to start Breeding just for the sake of producing a puppy to satisfy others needs? No, I don't think so! I will promote the Breed, because I know they are great babies to have, I could go on and on about the benefits of having one etc. But too many people think it's so easy to Breed them there is a long list of reasons why the average Joe should not Breed them! Generally when you Breed it is to Breed out the faults and Breed in the good traits. And as far as personality, it's how you train them to be. Sweet or Honory, they basically are reacting to you. Please leave the Breeding to experienced experts, no offense but it's for the good of the Yorkshire Terrier in the long run.
That is why so many yorkies are sold with a "Limited" registration? Some Breeders even stipulate in the contract that they are not to be bred or sold as pets. So much for being short huh? I'm sure you will do what is right for the greater good of the breed? Refer your friends & family to other Breeders to purchase one, but don't go into something that is very complicated so blindly.
