You need to start by attending dog shows...it is the "class room"...sit and watch, meet people when you can, listen and learn. Read and learn all you can about Yorkies, inside and out...it can take a long time to be trusted and find a mentor..but it is worth the work.
When you say you do not plan on selling any puppies...think about it. I had a litter of 5 males one time..and a fellow breeder who used one of champions got a litter of SEVEN females...so you need to plan for good homes when these things occur.
Breeding, correctly takes lots of work, time and money...invest the years to learn and get to know who you should know and it will be worth every minute.
PS..we all have our ideas about what works...I do not think a breeder can be successful without being a part of the Yorkie community...it is a bit like deciding to be a doctor, but not actually go into a hospital to learn...a lot can be learned from the internet, book, forums etc..but hands on is vital.

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your advice!
I wasn't really sure that I will do it, but I just wanted to get opinions in advance.
