Some of the best Yorkie minds in the world frequent these forums! They can be your best friend when it comes to learning more about breeding yorkies! They know more than has ever been written down and will welcome you if they sense the same dedication they put into this wonderful breed! But show a disregard for the breed, a lack of care for these amazing pups, be a greeder instead of a breeder, then stand by -- because there is not a lot of tolerance when it comes to neglect, abuse, or exploitation of our beloved Yorkies! Be kind, caring, and show how much you love the breed, and you will find a welcome and sharing of information that still amazes me! I have never gotten such enthusiastic help in any other undertaking! I have found inspiration in so many venues here! The help is here for the taking! Just show your drive, dedication and LOVE of the breed! I will be happy to answer any questions and share my limited experiences with breeding any time. You've started by asking questions. I find that is the way to keep going -- never stop asking, never stop learning! Good luck to you!
