| Why Do You Breed? I would like to pose the question to everyone on this list who breeds, be it one time, several times, as a hobby, or for show. I don't intend this to start a flame war. This is for informational and hopefully educational purposes only. 1. Why did you choose to breed the bitch? 2. How did you choose the male you bred her to? Looks, size, pedigree, etc? 3. What registry is your bitch, and sire registered with? 4. What is your intentions in breeding? As in: 1. Show prospects 2. Pet puppies 3. supplemental income 4. For the heck of it, etc. etc. 5. What characteristics of both male and female did you hope to produce with your litter? And lastly 6. How many puppies were produced and what sexes, what registries were those pups registered with? Hopefully this will be a good and informative thread. I hope no one will feel afraid to participate.

| Well GOSH GUYS with that kind of billing, no one is going to respond!! LOL I know I wouldn't! haha So am I crazy for asking this question? Can't we just have a nice healthy discussion?? Or is that asking too much for YTers?? LOL I actually had thought of a few more good questions pertaining to pre-breeding health tests and screenings, etc.. but I'm not going to bother asking them now, LOL okay I give up.

| But all joking aside, these are great questions and I hope some of our breeders will share their knowledge with us.

| Ok ok I will try it out - don't be too mean to me! LOL 1. Why did you choose to breed the bitch? She has wonderful looks, hair, pedigree, health, size and I would show her but she just doesn't have the look at me quality 2. How did you choose the male you bred her to? Looks, size, pedigree, etc? He is our male, his pedigree will go great with our female, great looks and last size. 3. What registry is your bitch, and sire registered with? Both AKC 4. What is your intentions in breeding? As in: 1. Show prospects 2. Pet puppies 3. supplemental income 4. For the heck of it, etc. etc. I would adore show prospects and will expect some, but puppies will more than not go to pet homes as people here are really not interested in showing. 5. What characteristics of both male and female did you hope to produce with your litter? Let's see! Male: Attitude!! Great face! Female: Hair, looks, size..longer legged than the sire and I would love that! And lastly 6. How many puppies were produced and what sexes, what registries were those pups registered with? We have no puppies YET - our female is only 1 year 1 month! Hopefully this will be a good and informative thread. I hope no one will feel afraid to participate. I am not sure if that really helps or not, but that is what we are working for! I would love to keep a show girl back too!

| When I first started talking about breeding on here, there was one person that blasted me all to heck and then wrote me long elaborate pm's about why I should not breed (this person is into rescues) and demanded to know why I wanted to breed. I finally got so fed up. I told the person that I want to breed to pay my credit caards off. LOL. I am on an ignore list now. |

| Wrenee thank you SO MUCH for taking that bold first step in posting. Sugars Mom, I completely understand, as the former director of a rescue, it took a lot to convince myself TO BREED. It's a matter of "doing it right" that makes the difference. People are going to buy puppies regardless if there are a million homeless dogs, yes many adopt, and GOOD FOR THEM!!!!! However, if people who are doing things by the book, breeding correct, healthy dogs are not the ones with an occasional puppy available, it is the BYB's and Mills that are going to be getting the puppy buyers who are not interested in adopting .. and to me that is just as bad. Personally I would rather someone adopt from a rescue or a shelter than buy a puppy from me (not that I have very many puppies..lol) but some people just don't WANT a rescued dog, in which case, there is a need for reputible breeders. So I completely understand both sides of the fence.

| I am surprised at the lack of response! I would think people would fell proud of their breeding programs and would not mind answering questions! What about yourself DazzlinYT? Soemday I perosnally want to breed. But there ar emany thigns for me to do first, learn more! I still have no yorkies in site but I plan to show first. THen breed...many years down the road! But I learn as much as I can. Why do I want to breed? Well I have two PET yorkies, I love these two like my kids (I have those too..) but they are what I call Super Pet quality, they have so many faults that it drives me crazy. I have looked, gone to shows, and there are very few good quality yorkies. I want to bring that to my part of the country. Plus I love yorkies....
