I've already contacted her a while back asking her to let me know when she has a male that has no lineage tied to Layla and she said she'd let men know. She doesn't breed Yorkies often & it's hard to find any reputable breeders down here in South Texas. As far as who I've paired her up with they've never been able to get info further then 3 gens back on his lineage bc they can't locate the breeder from 5 yrs ago & him nor his son have ever had any health issues either. I'm breeding to acquire another Yorkie for him & for myself, I love Layla's look, personality etc & if I could clone her I would! Lol I'm not breeding for profit or anything like that, not looking to be a backyard breeder either. I once had a Yorkie who myself was unknowledgeable at the time on breeders, obtained her from an assumed puppy pill & paid heavily for it & spent a lot keeping her alive after I received her due to genetic health issues. That's when I started to learn and do my research on Yorkies & joined this site and several groups. |
Have you done all the pre breeding testing and screening you should do? PRA HD ED CT. LP BATS
At the minimum you need to this, and to know if it has been done on what-ever sire you want to use.
You also need to know the health lineage from your dam, and potential sire.
In terms of breeding your gal to get just one like her? Problematic at the least. And just what would you do with the other puppies? Are you prepared to offer health guarantees to the prospective future puppy byers?
I would never consider mating my Championed male with a female not championed and had none of the pre requisite tests done.
