I am learning a lot, thank you. Despite my obvious ignorance

, I also intend to breed for the future of the breed. I've spent years researching this and I used to volunteer at a rescue shelter - I really want to breed healthy and friendly puppies who'll form the foundation of the Biewer breed in SA. Our bloodline is still very healthy (touch wood), but we wouldn't outcross to a Yorkie simply because we don't have access to a line of equal or superior quality to our Biewers. This country just doesn't have many of them.
