I mean we are certainly not having our kids "to improve the breed" and we don't not have kids because we are not Miss America material or our husband isn't Mr. Universe! I just cannot get my head around the whole "improving the breed" concept. Especially because they are talking about outward appearance primarily which imo is so secondary to temperament.
I like your attitude. You have a beautiful dog that you love and you want the joy of new puppies that you can share with yout family and friends, and allow your own baby the joy of motherhood.
It is very important that you know what you are getting into and you are smart to be starting your research now. You will make a wonderful hobby breeder in my opinion because your heart is in the right place and you are smart. Find a mentor who breeds yorkies or another small breed dog, enlist the help of your vet, and have fun!
Thiings can always go wrong but the breeders on here will tell you there is nothing like the experience!! It is usually well worth the time, effort and expense. Don't worry about selling or finding homes for your puppies either. Yorkies are in great demand. You won't have any trouble! |
Having kids and keeping the human race alive has nothing to do with BREEDING. I just cannot believe anyone could say people are obsessed with the if's and or buts about breeding....if it wasn't for these GOOD BREEDERS - ALL of our yorkies would have genetic health defects - these are the breeders that strive for healthy strong beautiful yorkies for US to be able to love. Sometimes I don't understand certain views - and everyone is entitled to them...but honestly - that comment floored me and I thought was an insult to all the caring breeders out there. Sorry - but this is JMO
