What does me rescuing and saving the lives of throw away dogs have to do with me considering to breed my little female yorkie??
I believe I should rethink my participation here. I've even recommended this site to 2 other people. My daughter and a friend. 
If anything, I am leaving here more confused than when I started.
Belittling and hand slapping is no way to treat new inquiring members. I am the type that would have stuck around and given back to the community in any way that I could have. However, I understand that sometimes the internet, being anonymous, is an outlet for superiority complex.
I'll buy some books.

It does take a thick skin to hang around here. It is my opinion that here you have your backyard breeders piping in, your show breeders and your anti-show breeders, your anti-backyard breeders and those that seem to against almost any kind of breeding. So with your one simple question you got a sampling of everybody's opinions and the usual arguing among them. Before you go away and don't come back, however, keep in mind that if you can figure out where members are coming from you can realize that their opinion might not pertain to your goals and if they do not, you can just ignore them and get some really good advice. I will say that if you really want to breed your Yorkie, the question is for what goal? It is very exciting to be involved in Yorkie breeding/exhibiting. If that is something you might be interested in then you could get some good advice on here rather than meandering around on your own.
Can you breed a bitch over 7 pounds and get good standard sized puppies? Yes but I need to qualify that answer with much research would need to be done first to see if it is probable.
Good luck!
