......."......talking to my veterinarian and different yorkie breeders for information on starting my foundation of a good female and male yorkie for showing and breeding, but some of the breeders that have nice quality dogs have limited registration on them.....".
Reputable shower/breeders have spent YEARS learning and absorbing information and developing their program. When these people have spent an ENORMOUS amount of TIME and MONEY in developing their breeding program, and the pups they are breeding are winning in shows, you will be hard pressed to find one that is going to just provide you with "the keys to their success".....so many people LIE about their intentions and try to just step over all the work and research and learning and time and money and heartache, etc., etc., etc., that comes with being a breeder/ shower....they have not "paid their dues" so to speak......what reputable breeder will hand you the secret to their hard work or producing strong, healthy, show-worthy pups, just because you "talk the talk" ???.....you say you have invested a year into research and study and pedigrees.....congratulations! You are just about 5-9 years away from having a REAL understanding of pedigrees and genes and genetics and the successful combinations of these lines, and types, and......it just goes on and on.....and apparently, you have already started breeding ? so what are you looking for? SURELY, YOU ALREADY HAVE "GOOD QUALITY, HEALTHY YORKIES" or you would not have started breeding. You need to get involved in showing....UKC shows are the place to start. You need to meet people that can give you basics, and you need to be growing and becoming more involved in shows....move on to AKC sponsored shows.....breeders will get to know YOU and if they like what they see....and BELIEVE me they know EXACTLY what they are seeing when they look at you.....you will find one that will be willing to mentor you....and it goes from there. It isnt easy, it isnt quick, and it is a ton of work and expense and SACRIFICE on your part.....when you gain the trust and RESPECT of the people you are trying to become one of, then you will find someone that is willing to work with you and MAYBE help you with a breeding pair of quality dogs. |
