Well hello to all and thank you in advance for response.I am still quite the newbie I have only become a yorkie owner in the last 6 months.Sir Snuffleupagus "Snuffy" being my first.He is now 6 months and I have fallen head over heals in love.I know that by posting here I may get advice I do not like and trust me I am ok with that I happen to have thick skin so here it goes.I have decided I want to try breeding not for income but for the love of this wonderful breed.I have been a nurse for 20 plus years and in 2003 I had major heart surgery.I have been doing well but my docter's will no longer allow me to work.I have been so depressed this last couple of years. Nothing to love and care for.I did not realize how unimportant I felt.I need to take care of living breathing things its in my blood. I am 40 years old and my children are 18 and 20.My oldest is away at school and the youngest soon to follow.I have read the website so you think you want to become a breeder and omg how horrible at the possibities but I feel I could use my medical background to make a good mom to these babies.Being a nurse I must admit I am one who checks and double checks myself always.So here is my plan,I have searched for a few months for my perfect girl and I think I found her.She came home Friday my little girl Katie.I took her to the vet today for her check-up and shots and told him my plans of breeding her in the future.He felt she would be a great female for breeding. Seeing the he himself owns 2 yorkie I think he has a better understanding of the breed than one who has never own and loved a yorkie. She receive a great report all is well.I do not plan to breed her for at least 18 months and only plan to breed her twice max and only if no problems arise.I then plan to take her puppys to start my breeding program so needless to say 2 years maybe 3 from now I plan to have some grandfurbabies.So I am a student now in learning and would ask for everyone to share with me anything and everything you feel I must know.I am a God fearing christian woman and only want to produce a quality puppy no line breeding and healthy happy babies.I only want akc puppies with champions in the pedigree no futher back than 3 generations.They will be raised in my home and will have 24 hour care. My vet has agreed to be present at the mating process and will delivery himself in my home or the office which ever I prefer.I know for the experienced breeded that sounds silly but I dont have the exp. at this time to feel comfortable without him being present.After reading the article on all the things that could go wrong made the decision to have him on hand lol I know you may also think this is to soon to begin planning if it will be so long before the matings begin but I want to have the time to hand raise my mommies to be.I want to have the special bond with my babies momma lol.But I want to be very well educated and prepared for all things possible.Sorry post was so long but felt I needed to give ya'll enough info to form you thoughts on this subject
