Have you thought of joining an All Breed Club? There are plenty of All Breed Clubs in Arkansas, I'm not sure if any are close to you, but there should be at least one other member within the All Breed Club with a yorkie who shows/breeds.
Where I'm located there's an All Breed Club about 20 minutes away but a Yorkshire Terrier Club about 90 minutes away. I would recommend that you contact a member within the YTCA that is close to you and you wouldn't mind traveling to visit if possible(there's one located in Germantown,TN).
Although preferred, you don't have to have a Yorkshire Terrier breeder help you with everything. I've learned quite a bit from other toy breeders, especially Maltese breeders. You definitely want a breeder/mentor who you can call and ask any question without feeling silly and is close distance wise in case an emergency arises.
I've spoken with a few breeders about a plethora of subjects and they all do things a little differently from each other. |
