I would think if your girl is "perfect" except for color and longer legs then it would be worth having her checked by a reproductive vet for evaluation of her ability to breed.
She sounds gorgeous. Can you post a picture? |
Sylvan is correct AngelBaby's Mom that I am not an experienced breeder (in fact I am not a breeder at all) but I have acquired some knowledge of the breed in my lifetime as a dog lover and yorkie fancier, and I know the thread was directed at me because of my Princess Chai, but some members on here feel like I shouldn't give advice because I am not a breeder so please know that my advice is just from what I have read, heard from other breeders, or from personal experience with my own four yorkies.
