That is very true. Learning often times comes in uncomfortable situations. I'm not sure that anyone here wants to "detour" you, maybe to deter you into truly considering the risks of breeding. Our members are passionate about the health and well being of Yorkshire Terriers.
Do you know the statistics on birthing problems within this breed? The incidence of genetic defects within this breed? If you go into breeding this girl, then go into it with
your eyes wide open. There will not be much joy for you or potential new owners of your pups with problems such as LS, MVD, Leggs Perthe, LP, and all sorts of other conditions that could present.
We are the caretakers and guardians of every dog we own, it is our responsibility to keep them out of harm's way, to nuture, to love these amazing creatures. And know this that breeding any female, no matter how healthy put's them at risk.
I hope that you stay on this site to read and learn, to re-evaluate and constantly question your desire to breed.
