What exactly is line-breeding? Do you mean the first 3 generations from the male and females relatives? ie: their mothers and fathers respectively and so on backwards?

You got it. Now in the eyes of a breeder, if a sire has the ability to reproduce hisself....that makes him a treasure. Yorkshire Terrier breeding is difficult. However, when selecting your breeding pair, it's just a bit more complicated. You need to evaluate their pedigrees, what has been produced within those pedigrees. Then you must evaluate your female with a critical eye, determine what faults she has and want to correct. You will pic your stud based on that evaluation.
Line breeding is breeding two dogs that have common ancestors/relatives within their pedigrees. Not to be confused with in breeding.
Yes, the first 3 generations within the breeding pair.
The only way you can be assured of what your pup will be (if that is important to you) is if you obtain your pup at a more mature age....7, 8 months of age....But, as you say, your pup will be perfect for you, no matter what....and be loved.
