Well, I'm looking to start up again and I am looking for advise. What are today's "must haves" in the breeding industry? Could you post a few pictures of your yorkie homes and nurseries? Come on, you know you want to brag about your set-up!!!! |
Well today's like yesterday's must "haves", is a very good healthy fine representative of the breed. All health testing done and passed.
I am assuming of course because you bred Yorkies before you should know the health testing necessary.
Not too much in required health testing has changed in a few years.
What has changed and unfortunately grown much larger is indiscriminate and poor breeding for our beloved Yorkies.
Breeding dogs that are rife with health problems, that have the wrong coat, temperament, and size.
And sadly the owners of these pups, bear the brunt of the emotional and the financial cost of poorly bred Yorkies.
So join your local breed club, preferably a Yorkie Club if not a Toy Breed Club, and if not that then an All Breed Club.
Set up of a whelping box is the least of your worries.
