We have many great breeders here, but they don't breed their pets. They study breeding and find a mentor way before they ever start breeding. You can learn a lot by going to dog shows, and you might be able to meet someone who's willing to mentor you. Some people will say they will mentor you in order to sell you a breeding dog, and they have no business breeding either, but if it's really in your blood, there is a correct way to do it. If you want to breed your pet, just to earn money, I urge you not to do it. Just because you "think" her parents were healthy, it doesn't mean they were. It costs a lot to begin a real breeding program, and too many greeders are ruining the Yorkshire Terrier breed and causing so much heartache for pet owners. If you know she isn’t breed standard why would you want to breed her, there is more to being a Yorkie than just being a “purebred.” |
