There is a plethora of badly bred Yorkies on the market, why add to it?

In addition to finding a mentor like was mentioned here, you should familiarize yourself with the California Puppy Lemon Law. If you sell or give away as few as 2 litters in a Calendar year, you can be held to this. It makes breeding a less than healthy dog a VERY expensive proposition. California Lemon Laws for Dogs
