I am researching my baby girl's background. I know of her lineage, but I need to get to the root of it. Such as her father. The owner wouldn't sell him for anything less than $5000.00. I need to study it and find out why he's worth so much. I plan to start digging into the histories. Then would come the testing, and I'd have a very knowledgeable person take a look at her composition, etc. Like I said i have a lot studying to do before I even consider breeding her. I am not interested in showing. I am only interested in getting a few puppies from her if she is a worthy breeder.

Thank you for answering my 1st question about her weight. The reason I asked this is because if she goes over 7 pounds, which she probably will, if that would completely disqualify her from the breed standard, then I wouldn't give it another thought and would get her spayed at 16 weeks.

I appreciate the straight forward answers. I need simple facts at this point. i am ONLY a beginner with Yorkies.
Good for you

Did she come from a show breeder? Is the $5000 dog from a show kennel? Is he a champion?

I hope you find someone to mentor you. It sounds like you want to do it right. Keep asking questions.
