Donating YT 500 Club Member | IDK what kind of, or how many responses you might get here. I would suggest, if you haven't already, attend some dogs shows and try to meet breeders there. I would think breeders would be more likely to want to mentor you if they could meet you in person. I noticed there is a silky terrier show (not yorkies, but still would be interesting) in your area real soon. Then a Columbia, MO all breed show later in March.

| What larger dogs did you have? That must have been so hard to do! You must have a lot of courage!

| Finding a mentor is not that easy. It really should have happened way before you bought your breeding dogs. They would have assisted you in picking out breed quality dogs from reputable breeders.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | You're right Mary, I didn't know this OP had the problems in the past with too large of yorkies for breeding and has already purchased more.......kind of getting the cart before the horse.

| Mentorship is a responsibility that is not taken lightly. A mentor will guide you every step of the way. Not just when it's time for whelping. They will teach everything there is about the breed you've selected. Canine Genetics, structure, health testing, the standard, pedigrees, line-breeding (the only way to minimize problems and set type) selecting the best of the best, and how to breed to improve the breed. Every good mentor knows the importance of knowing the breed inside and out. They also know that no one buys a dog for breeding until 7 months of age or more and has all the qualifications of a show dog. If these steps are not being followed, then you are breeding irresponsibly, adding to the yorkie population of misbred dogs. If one is embarking into the breeding journey without taking all into consideration.....then they are entering the world of BYBers and breeding just for $$$$. Just taking your dog to the vets and them looking at them does not insure you that you have healthy dogs that are good enough to breed. Vets are not well versed in every breed and know what tests need to be performed.
