We have a new male purebred Yorkshire Terrier that we inherited. He is 4 years old and still has his testicles. We would like to breed him. We have his record papers, but he has not been registered with the AKC. We were able to get in touch with the breeder and were told that he is not supposed to be bred (as stated in verbal agreement with original purchaser). In the paperwork there is a field for designating whether or not it's OK to breed him, but it is not blacked out to indicate that he is not supposed to be bred. In other words, there is no documentation that confirms the breeders claim.
As new owners we would like to breed him, but have no idea how to proceed. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to properly move forward with breeding him, given the aforementioned situation.
Thanks for your help!
