I'm happy you've begun a wonderful life with a Yorkie puppy. The best breed in the world as far as I'm concerned - fiercely terrier temperaments(cannot beat a terrier for 'heart' and utter determination to achieve its goals) and an easy size for those who want or need smaller dogs. They think they are Great Danes as far as size and are exceedingly brave little cusses! Make great watch dogs and are eternally fun, bright, entertaining, feisty, loving, loyal companions who love learning new things and working. Give a Yorkie a job and he's in heaven!

Please leave dog breeding to the experts who breed only for the improvement of the breed, which takes years of experience in how to achieve healthy, happy dams and puppies once the whelping is done should undertake this enormous responsibility. Why breed your dog unless you know for certain the lineage of each of the parents for at least four generations is totally healthy, with proper vet health certificates for each dogs in the lineage certifying that dog free of all of the genetic problems Yorkies are known to carry. Don't be a 'bad breeder' yourself - i.e., those who breed willy-nilly, who don't study and understand genetics or know or care whether or not the dogs they breed have any history of genetic hereditary problems. Only those who have been mentored in dog breeding/whelping for at least two years or more by excellent, knowledgeable, highly respected breeders in their breed and those who've personally studied dog breeding/whelping and have a full foundation in breeding genetics, have a fair certainty of what the breeding pair will produce and have at least 'vet tech' knowledge of dog medics should ever undertake breeding any dog and purposefully bringing a litter of puppies into this world, a world that yearly kills millions and millions of unwanted, overbred dogs.

This country is awash in shelters brimming to the fill with unwanted, abandoned dogs, so many that they now must turn undesirable dogs away, take those they house only for a certain time before one-by-one, when each baby's 'time is up', to the awful 'kill room' and administer an utterly deadly medication or gas by the tens of thousands of innocent little dogs somebody allowed to be conceived and whelped, every single week this earth whirls by. And ' no kill' shelters can only take a limited amount of dogs, thus turning away those they cannot take to a death at the hands of its owners by drowning, shooting or turning the dog loose or abandoning it to another shelter.

It's appalling how many people breed dogs with no thought for bettering the breed but just to produce more puppies, often to make back the price they paid for their dog! Why? Why bring more puppies into the world unless you are expert enough to know with a fair certainty you will be breeding dogs with excellent health heredity, long lines of vet certifications of genetically healthy bodies, fine terrier temperaments and have every conviction should be better quality Yorkshire Terriers than the parents in every respect? Otherwise, you could likely just be adding to the Yorkshire Terriers' many genetic woes.

Just Google "YorkshireTerrier genetic health problems" and read up on the many genetic issues likely most of today's Yorkies inherit at birth and please enjoy your baby as your beloved, forever pet, not a potential danger to any future puppies he might sire. He sounds adorable and is worth his price by just being there for you, bringing you his love, his companionship, all the joys and fun experiences you are about to have but unless you are an experienced Yorkshire Terrier breeder, please don't breed just to bring more puppies into a world absolutely glutted with them. Rather just enjoy that baby every day you are blessed to have him and take lots of picture to share with us!
