I've learned so much from this forum and hold the value of information in high regard. It's imperative that as a forum of Yorkie lovers that we continue to educate others to the information that we ourselves have learned through experience.  It is after all for the love of the dogs that we share our knowledge. |
Awesome. There is nothing that makes me happier than someone who as both you and I did at the start, didn't know the info but learned and understood the purebred dog purposes. But as a show breeder, I will tell you from the very start, my purpose to get into Yorkies was never purely for the purpose of selling puppies. From the start I wanted to show my dogs, produce a nice show dog for myself and along the way yes there were puppies available for pet homes. Sire and/or dam usually are championed, pedigrees usually are at least 75% champions.
Purpose of breeding is always something to consider before a purchase from a breeder.
