 Looking?
You say you have studied the Yorkshire breed for a couple of years and handled dogs in the past also. This is all great and much needed but, several other questions come to mind.
First and foremost do you have a supply of money set aside for the emergencies that can and do happen when breeding. Things like needed c-sections, cases of pyometria, the loss of a bitch that gets into trouble during whelping. Are you prepared to sit up and feed puppies in that case every two hours. Are you prepared for lossing a puppy after you have spent sometimes weeks trying to pull them through? These are just a few of the heartaches that can and will eventually happen.
Have to you been to any shows, talked with other show breeders, do you have a mentor that is willing to help you when you have questions.
Are you prepared to finsih the male and female to their championship titles?
You said you are looking for show quality, most show breeders won't place a dog or bitch with someone who isn't willing to spend the time and money it takes to finish them, and trust me it isn't cheap.
If you have done all of these things and are willing to sign a show contract I can give you the name of breeders who might be willing to work with you but, if you can't answer yes to all of these questions they won't.
I studied the Yorkie Breed for almost six years before I got my first one and then nobody would take me serious and sell me a show prospect until I had finished my first champion. Not because I was a bad home but because I didn't have a mentor and I couldn't prove I was willing to do whatever it took. I wish you luck in your search. |
