They don't Show, but are breeding to Standard.
Now, if you're like some of the calls I get, looking for full registration for $400.00, just in case you may want to have puppies for your relatives, or have your kids experience birth.. you may have to drive 6 hours for that.
The obvious problem of breeding your male to her female and the size difference aside... What birth weight background does your male have??? I would be concerned about what birthweight a bigger male might throw that would be very dangerous for the female.
It scares me that your friend wants to start a kennel for Yorkies, so that there are "good" Yorkies in your area, when she's starting out with a 12 lb male for stud. We should only use the best for our breeding, not just put a male and female together for puppies.. that's not becoming a good breeder, just adding to Missouri's problem.
