Another thing is do you know for sure about her bloodlines. What type of breeder did you get her from. Not saying this to be mean about your baby, but there are many, many (too many) AKC registered Yorkies with claimed pedigree champion bloodlines, and that probably means nothing if you didn't really get her from a REAL reputable champion bloodline show breeder. I read "pedigree" or "champion bloodlines" in the sales ads everyday, everywhere. It's common and most of the time are lies.

I'm not saying yours isn't because your baby could be official. But if you are wanting to start breeding I'd advise to get an official healthy pedigree female for this purpose, AFTER you are prepared for the breeding business.

The couple of people you know who want a Yorkie because they admire (and envy LOL) yours so much, should go find them one. If she were my adorable well mannered baby, I'd tell them that.

Good post.

I would like to add that when people say that there are Champions bloodlines in their pedigree - what you have to look at or ask is... how many generations back?

Was it the pups sire?
the grandsire?
the great-grandsire?

Was it the Dam?
the granddam?
the great-granddam?

I guess what I'm trying to say is... bloodlines are really something you have to know about to appreciate. You really need to know where the Champions are in his pedigree.
