OKAY, He has 4 champions in his bloodline he is in Great health and caught up in shots... He is 7 months old, if i knew how to show him or any of that stuff i would be STUPID not to know breeding steps.... And to whoever thinks it's irresponsible to breed dogs, **ck off.... I want to breed my pup bc he is my Baby boy's namesake, our baby died.... I also love yorkies and animals...it's not like i would breed and then have a bunch of unwanted pups... They would be worth a lot, so whoever wrote that doesn't do their research.
Anyway perfect health, championship in bloodline shots and perfect..wanted to know best steps to take, Thankyou

Thankyou to the people who didn't feel like insulting me and my son's name sake, and I have more then a clue to how to do this, I just thought asking would give me more things to consider...But I NEVER expected anyone would be negative about bringing beautiful animals or any kind of baby's in the world.

You might get some pretty negative answers regarding this. Many people here are against breeding dogs. I base my answer on facts with little opinion. I have nonething against RESPECTABLE dog breeders but heres your tips now.
One of the most important steps is choosing the right mate for your dog. The mate you choose should possess the qualities you want to see carried on in the puppies. Both male and female should be healthy and possess no genetic faults that could jeopardize the health of the puppies.
Make sure the female is very healthy so that her pregnancy and birth are easier. Support her prior to breeding with excellent nutrition and supplements. Of course she should always have excellent nutrition, but a boost will help her energy and help her stay healthy during her pregnancy.
Good record keeping on both the male and female can help increase your breeding success, but it is especially important with the female. You should keep a history folder on your female which records important dates such as when you first see signs of the female going into heat, any changes in behavior, and any medical issues.
You should also have a good working relationship with your veterinarian who can be a very helpful resource throughout the breeding process, during the pregnancy, during labor and of course once the pups are born.
Male dogs have less reproductive problems than female dogs but they can be more difficult to correct. Anatomical defects, low sperm, and infection of the reproductive organs are the most common problems to watch for in a male dog. Hypothyroidism, arthritis of the spine, and Brucellosis should also be checked for in males that show no interest in breeding.
With the female, the main reason for failed breeding is wrong timing. Because of the length of time a female is in heat, without hormone tests it can be difficult to tell when the "right" time really is. Your vet has a variety of ways to test hormone levels to try to narrow down the best breading time, but at the end of the day it still really is hit and miss.
If you buy an adult female yorkie make sure she's been checked by a vet to make sure she's good to go for breeding. Also having your male checked wouldn't be that bad. If you just want to "stud" your yorkie then (hopefully your Yorkie is registered with a recognized club like Akc or Ukc...because they have stud listings which you can add your listing for like 20.00 or less a year) Now who to tell: Maybe friends know of some female yorkies that are for sale/or need of a stud. If and i strongly advise you to have your male checked with your veterinarian, you get the male checked by your vet then he/she should be able to tell you where yorkie stud service is needed or if you are looking to buy a female they should be able to point out some RESPECTABLE breeders.
Hope this was of some help to you and BEST OF LUCK!! Yorkies are soooooo cute!

First, we have to ask WHY you want to breed a dog when you know nothing about breeding? Breeding dogs indiscriminately is irresponsible.
Now that we're over that, the best place to start is the library. Read up everything you can on dog breeding, especially information on contracts and liability if the female's pregnancy goes bad, the pitfalls of backyard breeding, what to do with the "unwanted" pups after they're weaned, etc. Once you know what you're getting into, locate local breeders and ask their advice on how to proceed successfully.

You can advertise your male Yorkie in the paper as available for breeding, or check pet stores, Yorkie clubs, etc. Find a person with a female Yorkie in heat and put them together :)
The person with the male dog, usually collects a stud fee and/or pick of the litter.

Is your Yorkie AKC registered? Does he fit the standard? What are his qualifications? His pedigree? Are you a member of any Toy breed clubs? Do you participate in showing? Why do you want to breed? Have you had all necessary genetic testing done? Before you make the decision to do this it is extremely important that you research every aspect of it. You will need a contract, you will need to make certain the female is tested for any sexually transmitted disease. Are you prepared to have a female in heat in your home? Will you do "hand" breeding? Talk to some reputable breeders, talk to your vet, make sure you are INFORMED!!

What AKC titles has your dog earned?
Has he been specialled and at what shows?
When was his last CERF test?
What is his Penn Hip or OFA certification results?
What other testing has he had done?
These are questions a responsible breed is going to ask you.
Start with the Yorkie breed club they will have listings of breeders and you can contact them for all the info you will need.

Read this site:

Then do the responsible thing and have your PET neutered. There is no reason AT ALL for you to breed your dog unless you're doing so to preserve and better the breed...breeding an animal (and bringing lives into this world) for money, or to 'honor' someone is VERY selfish. Don't breed for greed---it makes you a backyard breeder and a bad person.

Contact your vet OR, if you have papers on your dog, your regional Yorkie owner club.
