However, breeding requires years of study in the breed of your choice. I would begin by finding a mentor of your chosen breed. Yorkies are a challenging breed to breed. Having all the required testing performed on your breeding stock is of great importance. Having them evaluated to insure they are great representations of the breed is another important step. However, knowing their backgroud is of equal importance. In other words knowing the pedigrees backward and forwards.......every dog within that pedigree and even siblings of those that aren't within the pedigree. If you aren't breeding to improve the breed then don't proceed. Let me add we are in bad economic times, if you are breeding for yourself that is expensive in itself. But, if you are breeding to fill a pet market, at this point in time, even the best of the breeders have cut back on their breeding programs.

| I may not ever breed her. Right now I am just asking questions and trying to learn as much as I can. You've been very helpful. |

| Where in Texas do you live? The YTCA Roving specialty will be in San Antonio, Texas in July. It would be a great experience for you if you could go watch. I am planning on being there.

| I live exactly halfway between Houston and Dallas off of Interstate 45. Very tiny town. I'd love to go! |

San Antonio Roving I think there are 5 days of shows and the specialty is on a Wednesday, July 13. It should be lots of fun. Top yorkies from all over the U.S. will be there. The room rates sound very reasonable.

A champion stud dog has the potential to pass a genetic defect on to hundreds of offspring. All show dogs should be required to be health tested to prove their worthiness. | |

I really think all breeding dogs should be tested prior to breeding, not only exhibitor/breeders, all breeders. However, tests only prove that the breeding pair do not have such afflictions it does not prove that they are not carriers. There is no test/genetic marker to give insight to that as yet.
