I need some advice from anyone that doesn't mind a couple of "dumb" questions from a first-time yorkie owner.

Lily is 9 months old and weighs 5+/- lbs. I'm interested in breeding her when the time is right. I know I need to wait until at least her second cycle and therein lies my first question (I'm embarrassed to even ask!). How do I know when she's gone through a "true" cycle? At about 6-7 months she went through a period of humping everything in sight but I never saw any bleeding. Any ideas what that was all about? Every animal I've ever had has been spayed so this is all new to me.

Also - how do I go about finding a stud? I'm not breeding for show but I do want purebred puppies.

BTW - I'm new here...my name is Pamella and I live in Virginia. Any help is welcome and appreciated.
