It doesn't sound silly at all. It sounds like you are trying to start something that you feel like you will enjoy. And isn't that important for any breeder? You sound like you have some very respectable goals that you are willing to work to achieve and you are willing to do your research first. THAT is very respectable and unfortunately many don't see it that way.
I would suggest that you read everything you can get your hands on. Learn what breed specific issues plague Yorkies. Learn what issues you need to have health screenings done on, what is genetic, etc.
Find a breeding mentor to work with. He/she will help guide you through the process and help you to gain some first hand experience before you actually start breeding yourself. And most importantly, a mentor will be key in helping you to evaluate the quality of your boy and girl as they mature and helping you determine if they will compliment each other well as a breeding pair.
You are researching first, so it sounds like you are on the right track. |
