YorkieProud, thank you for this post!! It's the best one I've read in a long time. I'm very glad you realize why breeders get upset when they see someone breeding their pet quality Yorkies to have some cute little puppies or even worse, just to have something to sell.
There are some very experienced breeders on Yorkie Talk who are more than willing to give their time and knowledge to help anyone who is really wanting to learn. You're right they can get very passionate and have little patience with people wanting to breed mutts and poor quality Yorkies which doesn't help the breed at all.
If you're going to breed Yorkies, you should breed quality Yorkies as close to the standard as possible. Learn as much as you can about the dogs behind your dogs. If you don't know what's behind them, how are you going to know what they are capable of producing?
Study the pedigrees of the dogs you like and see how they were bred to produce it.
