You got some sound advice here. Lorraine is so honest.
You are just going to be graduating in a year - I guess the reason why you are waiting a year to buy your next yorkie. But you have to realize that you may have loans to pay back and you will probably will be spending most of your time on your first job after graduating.
It takes a lot of time and money to breed correctly and not done lightly. You will need now more time to spend - studying up on our breed. A white yorkie is not to standard - the one you thought was so cute on another one of your posts. Breeding is not something you just make a decision of now. You have to be totally ready when you purchase - know the standard, learn what makes a yorkie worth breeding, go to shows (yes, this is important), and save up a lot of money. It will cost you more for a good representation of the breed than what you mentioned and you will need money for emergencies, such as c-sections. And you will need to have your girl complete health tests before breeding - this is not cheap!. First though as mentioned you will need a good mentor. You just do not breed and let your yorkies have pups. You have to know how to deliver them - if not ready and know what to do you can lose your girl and the pups.
It is a lot easier and cheaper just to buy your next pet. A lot less money, time, and worries.
