Then if you want you can search - World Pedigree DataBase Yorkshire Terrier, Yorkshire terrier Pedigree DataBase.

And see if theres any infor there. Or just search the web the show name. But a breeder usuallly will sell you pet quality and a good breeder won't gouge you. And you most likely will get a good health guarrentte. But it's up to the buy to do all the esearch. Not all ppl are honest. JME

Thank you for the links! I'm so glad I posted this thread! I have so much information now!

I have actually asked the breeders about Spring or Summer litters. I wanted to be able to research the sire & dam of my next pup. It seems that most of the breeders I have contacted will be mating their pups in the next 4-10 weeks. They were able to tell me who will be bred & the sires. I will be contacting them again in March so that they can tell me which dams are pregnant.

So, your links will be extremely helpful for me! Thank you so much!

Main thing is. Hopefully the pup you get will be healthy and live a long healthy life. Thats comes from all the select breeding. Sure there always a chance of the pup having "problem" But less likey and if there are a good breeder with help you or even give you a new pup..which in all reality is hard to give up. Just a better chance than buying from a bad breeder which may have bad health traits bred into them. Good luck

I see you already have gotten expert advice, here's a link explaining Clarkwyn breeding (its just a so called original line) I know nothing of the breeder who's site the information is shared on not endorsing them.

Short answer is if your name is Smith, you have your line of yorkies you created after years of carefilly matched and championed breedings you'd probably name it 'or have itto called Smith line yorkies...or if you named york kennel Super Candy Awesome Fun Time (lol) it would be Super Awesome Candy Fun Time Yorkie Line...this naming is based on AKC and breed club line, kennel dog registrations ...maybe look up a sample 12 geberation pedigree on the net or someone can post one to show you.

My dog's name is Elvis...his AKC name is Castonague Shelbornes's Life of the Part Boy.

Thank you for the link! All of this information is so interesting to me! The breeder I was referring to re: the "based on Wildweir lines" and "descended from Clarkwyn breeding" is Tom Becker of Wingold in NJ. The homepage of his website reads, "My dogs are known for their pretty heads, silky coats and cobby bodies. Based on Wildweir lines, my dogs are line bred and include certain dogs descended from Clarkwyn breeding." I suppose I'll have to research the sire & dam of the litter to find out exactly how/if the pup is "based on or descended from Wildweir/Clarkwyn".

Thank you so much for the information! I feel so much better about speaking with these breeders now. I can only imagine how much time & energy they put into their dogs. I don't want them to think that I'm clueless about a pup I could be bringing into my home. I also really want to understand the history of my next pup. Thank you very much!

Hi! Just to clarify. My dogs came from breedings
I did with Wildweir dogs, as well as dogs I
purchased DIRECTLY from them and breeders who bred to
their dogs and purchased from them. I probably have
more of their dogs in my pedigrees than anyone else in the World.
Joan, Janet and Nancy have been so kind to me. The Clarkwyn
dogs I favored and have all three in my pedigrees are the
three Eagles- Jubilee, Jamboree and Double. I
also added two others directly descended from
Jubie - Ch Cede Higgins and Ch Robtell Jubilation.
Clarkwyn was a true line FROM dogs of Wildweir breeding.

It is very interesting that the original standard and show winners had very wavy hair based on this:
Memoirs of Yorkies Past: Beginning Breeders of Yorkshire Terriers.

Mandie's hair is wavy like that..maybe not AS wavy, but it has waves...it's not straight like the standard is today.

Hi! Some yorkies have poker straight hair and
a few have a wave - most often over the rear leg.
Sometimes this means the dogs are more silver
than steel blue. But the silver-ish dogs often have
great silky texture which doesn't break or knot and grows
long. They did not have half the products we have now
or flat irons that are often used today. In thr. 80's
we washed our dogs before a show, put the wrappers on
and at show took them off- misted them with water and brushed
and went into the ring. Some waves were evident in the pictures.
I dont yet know how to paste a picture in my post but could
show you some examples. But then we didn 't have these
crazy sun visor all poofed up topknots which make them
look angry. One of the reasons I love the Wildweir dogs
is they have cheek and flat heads that made them pretty not
snipey weasel faces other lines had. They also were cobby. The
Yorkie breed is NOT to be a tall dog, an Afghan in miniature
and while so many adjectives apply elegant ( if it means tall ) is not
one the originators used. It can be balanced and not tall.

Thank you for replying. I think those poofy topknots can make them look angry, too lol

My Mandie has a wave in her body hair..for example, the more you go do from her backline, it gets a wave. She is more silver than blue, so that makes sense.

Also, I think many of her traits look like the Mayfair line.

I have a girl whose sire has Jubilee Eagle in 3 of his 4 grandparents lines, with him being doubled up on his maternal qrandmother's side.,so I find your posts very interesting.
