Anyone here from N. Central Wisconsin?
 

Hi all,
We live in Stevens Point, WI. Have a 2 yr old male CKC registered Yorkie. He is CKC because his breeder did not register his Mom before she was over a year. He is actually AKC on both sides. Working with the new program AKC has started to trace ancestry and re register dogs with documented AKC ancestry.
I see a few "real" Yorkies around here, but there are tons of the designer breeds ( mostly Yorkie / somethings". Would love to stud Onegus. He is right on for AKC standard for the breed and has the sweetest temperment ever. Would also like to find a young female Yorkie ( just over a yr) to purchase so we can breed our own. Thought of getting a puppy, but since he is already 2, and raring to go, that would mean about 2 years of guarding her before she was mature enough, and he would be 4 by that time.

Good luck, my breeder is in the Kenosha County area. Her name is Kim, that's about 4-5 hours south of you though.

I am actually from Eau Claire, WI. but I have been living in KS for the last 5 years now:animal-pa

Theres alot of good information over in the Breeder section. I only hope you do your homework before considering such an endeavor. Goodluck! ;)

Thank you for your concern. I worked for a Yorkie Breeder / groomer for 4 years during high school so I am well aquainted with the process. I would like to asure you that I am not wanting to do this for the money, but strictly for the love of the breed and the desire to breed quality yorkies, not quantity, or "designer teacups".
I have also been reading everything I can get my hands on for years, ( I have read the breeder section until I have almost worn it out, lol) talking to our vet and and have several friends who are breeders of other breeds.
I waited years until I found our little guy who has all of the qualities I love best about the breed, physically, temperment and intelligence. Unless I find a female that represents those same qualities, I will not breed. I have been aproached several times already by people we have met out and about or at events wanting him for stud, but their females were under 4# and that is something I just won't do. Even at 5 - 7 # there are risks for the female and the pups, even under the best of circumstances. I love the breed too much to risk killing one out of someone's desire to have "teacup" yorkies, or greed. We have already decided that if we do find a female that meets our requirements, any females in the litter will not leave until they are at least 3 mo and their adult weight can be estimated. Should they look like they will be under 5#, they will be spayed before they leave us. My poor husband has nighmares of me not parting with any babies and being over run by furbies.:eek: Could happen, lol. The breeder I worked for sometimes had 16 at a time between her breeding stock, their puppies, and furbies she took back rather then see them go to unacceptable homes.
All of that being said, I am always open to any suggestions and input anyone has to offer.

Wow, you really did your homework.
