I have a sweet but melodramatic yorkie girl, whom I love with all my heart and truly believed she was fated for me, even though she has LP (her parents didn't have it). Before I got her spayed, I've had people suggest I breed her and can make money off her (since the breeders I got her from, gave full registration rights).
I've made it clear to the breeders before I even saw her and made it clear to all those who've made such a suggestion. "I will never breed her, she's my furbaby." I know that's it's costly and heartbreaking to be a proper breeder. As much as I would've loved to have more of her, I'm more concerned with her continued health and my ability to help her. That's my priority.
There is so much responsibility to breeding, that I know I cannot handle it. I don't recommend it for those that won't know how to be very serious about it. I agree with others, you breed for the best of the breed as you possibly can. But if you are willing and able, then take the greatest of care, get a mentor, even if it's for having the pups for yourself. You'll want to breed for the best, to give them the best chances.
