There are many good reasons to breed and even more bad ones. Please do some more research, ask tons of questions - here might be a good start as you've already found out!
Yorkies are a dime a dozen out in this world. In fact, they've bumped the German Shepherd and are now in the #3 spot for AKC's most popular breed. Therefore, you may want to consider only breeding your Yorkies if you've got something better to produce than most others out there. Otherwise, what makes your Yorkie better than the one they can get from the petstore (that's oversized at maturity too) down the street that also has a great temperment and is cute?
Just things to consider. |
You know what Leslie? Speed reading class in high school was probably the biggest mistake of my life!
I did not notice the 6 lbs at 9 months. I skimmed too fast to take note. I agree...he is most likely going to be a bit over standard and not an ideal weight for stud if his weight is correct for his age now. I've produced a BEAUTIFUL 9 lb at maturity boy in the past and to me he is the BOMB with health, beauty and temperament...but I would not breed to one of his weight strictly because I firmly believe in only breeding within our standard.
Again, best wishes to you and hope you will take time to enjoy your 9 month old little fellow because he is most definitely still a puppy to be enjoyed! Yorkies really do not mature until
atleast 18 months-2 1/2 years old. Coat will take even longer than that.
