That's pretty much why I said what I said earlier. Temperment is important. I know my sons little weiner dog piddled as a puppy but it was due to excitment not fear - he loves people. He grew out of it.
With this yorkie I don't think breeding is going to help her at all....if anything it may make it worse. The other thing to consider is your family may want a puppy like your male - but they inherit traits of both the mother and father -so it's very possible you'll end up with skittish puppies. Besides you said you aren't a breeder so ....maybe
not breeding is a good idea yes ?
I know the replies weren't what you hoped to hear but people here DO
put the dogs first - it's a dog site.
