To breed any dog, for the "experience" is not a concept that will go over well with the many dedicated and experienced breeders here. Go skydive, or scuba for experience, don't risk the life of a beloved dog for "your" experience.

So you saw a vet and got an Xray to be sure she was okay. Did you do all the recommended health checks on her? Was the sire health checked as well? Is she and the sire a good representative of the breed? What about their lines? What is the health of the lines like? Incidence of LP, liver shunt, PRA, hip or elbow dysplasia. Are you aware of all the health concerns of yorkies?

i'm sure glad your done with breeding.

Gail,

I don't think she's done with breeding, she still has the whelping to contend with.
