I had my first litter of Yorkies over 30 years ago. I bred her to a Radnor champion - Radnor yorkies were owned by a woman who started the YTCA club that I belong to.
My next litter was 9 months ago, two puppies, both of whom I kept. I am showing the girl, Gidget, and have neutered the boy, Sebastian, as my pet. I think they are both very nice puppies. Their sire is a champion from Indiana. Their dam is my Kalina - I searched long and hard for Kalina. I wouldn't have been able to get such a nice girl if I didn't have the recommendations that I had from other Yorkie people. I will not be breeding on a big scale - in fact I will do very little breeding - but I will definitely breed for the betterment of the breed; that's something that all members of the YTCA agree on.
