Most show exhibitors do breed small litters but your most well renowned breeders that have well established lines are on a larger scale. Look at the Durrer lines, Statford, Parkside, TyAva, Rothby, Pastoral, NicNak, This Time, the list could go on they don't breed one or two litters a year to be as well established and have the number of NICE BIS, BISS, Multi Group Winners nd placements, multi CH's without having more than one or two litters a year. These are some of your top and well respected breeders in North America and Canada. All you have to do is research each of these exhibitor/breeders and they are still actively showing and producing top notch show yorkies with the exception of Rothby with the passing of Roberta! What a great loss to the yorkie world when she passed!
But these are only a handful vs. the majority that can only breed one to two litters a year. Even the exhibitors I mentioned above have scaled down due to their age, economy, and everything getting expensive. I hope this explains part of why some may have 5 or more litters a year due to having maybe at least 5 to 6 bitches. Might I add this....most of the exibitors above are very well off and have state of the art kennels with kennel help, nannies for puppies ect...access to vets 24/7 and spare no expense.
