If you have breeding experience that's wonderful.
However, breeding requires years of study in the breed of your choice. I would begin by finding a mentor of your chosen breed. Yorkies are a challenging breed to breed.
Having all the required testing performed on your breeding stock is of great importance. Having them evaluated to insure they are great representations of the breed is another important step. However, knowing their backgroud is of equal importance. In other words knowing the pedigrees backward and forwards.......every dog within that pedigree and even siblings of those that aren't within the pedigree.
If you aren't breeding to improve the breed then don't proceed.
Let me add we are in bad economic times, if you are breeding for yourself that is expensive in itself. But, if you are breeding to fill a pet market, at this point in time, even the best of the breeders have cut back on their breeding programs.
