Since your pups may end up being breed too - what mark will your judgment make on the breed. With each decision it can change the breed. We have to ask ourself why we love the breed so much. What about it makes a yorkie a yorkie.

With that being said and as other mentioned, you have to first know the yorkshire terrier standard. Do you know your girl's pedigree? What tests has she passed, since health issues can be passed on? How does she compare to the standrad. Then if she passes, you have to make a decision on which stud, bassed on the same satandards. How does he match the standard? Is he of good quality compared to the standard. What tests has he passed? What improvements will he make? What is his pedigree? When making a match you want to make sure he compliments your girl. There is so much involved in the decision. I personally would want to make sure both are AKC or Canadian KC.


GREAT ADVICE
