Hello everyone,
I'm new to Yorkietalk, so I hope I'm doing this right. My name is Sheila and I'm from North Dakota. I want to become a hobby breeder of Yorkies. So I've been trying to read and search and find out all I can. I had a male neutered Yorkie that passed on and I have a 8 year old Maltese that is spayed. She is definitely my fur-child. My kids are grown and gone so it's just my husband and myself at home. It's just way to quiet!
Anyway... I've been finding that some puppies are blue and tan, black and tan, black and gold, etc. The AKC standard is blue and tan. So, if I'm going to do things right, do I search for puppies to start out with that are specificly blue and tan? I want to start with a female that is around 5 pounds and a male that is 4 pounds. I don't want to run into the problems associated with mini, teenie, tea cup, etc.
What price range is about right for good quality pups to start out with? Should they have some champions in their bloodlines to show prospective buyers? Does that usually make buyers feel more confident that they are getting a good quality puppy?
I thank you in advance for any comments you can give me.
Sheila
