Felicity -- Do you really know anything about the parents and grandparents? You posted that the USDA breeder told you he never sends his pups out unless they are 2 pounds, and yours was only 15 ounces at 9 weeks. At that point, it seemed he did not believe the pup was from his breeding. You bought from someone misrepresenting themself to be the USDA breeder in TX -- who knows where they really got this pup. Without microchip, there is no way to know where he came from.
As for 2 people approaching you willing to falsify AKC records for breeding, I would seriously be wondering about the crowd you run with. I have been around yorkies for quite some time now and have shown my interest in breeding to MANY other breeders and NEVER once has anyone ever tried to tempt me with an illegal scheme. AKC tries to institute rules to PREVENT just that thing! That is why they are requiring DNA testing in some instances. That is why they have a reporting and investigation process.
BTW You seem to think being a USDA breeder is a good thing. I know of NO good breeders that have a USDA license. It is required to mass produce and sell dogs wholesale -- meaning they sell to pet stores and brokers, never caring who gets the puppies.
You really should NOT breed the dogs you have. If you are serious about breeding, hook up with a good breeder willing to mentor you. When you are ready they may let you in on their line -- that way you know you have some pups that are worthy of breeding. To continue to breed dogs of such dubious background is just not responsible. Obviously they can be wonderful pets, but no reason to breed them. Don't take the short cuts -- if you are going to do it, make the right choices. You will be so much prouder in the long run!
This started out being such an interesting thread.
