you can find a great one by entering her in shows and putting champion titles on her, then you can have her health screened and temperment tested. if she's a proven champion you won't need to find a male. the male owners will knock on your door. i'm sure she's cute. so it my dog. but i had her spayed, so she would live a long happy healthy life being cute. please spay your dog, don't add to the overwhelming overpopulation of dogs.

Here's a great site that offers reasons to why people breed and it's not for whatever reason you are looking for:
Breeding purebred dogs is also time consuming, expensive, and, occasionally, heartbreaking. If you go forward, your underlying purpose should be to improve the breed-not just increase its numbers-and you must be prepared to accept full responsibility for the puppies from the moment they are born until the day they die.
Breeding a litter should begin with knowledge. Responsible breeders devote lifetimes to learning as much as they can about their breed, about canine health and training, and about AKC rules.
The motto of the responsible breeder of purebred dogs is "Breed to Improve." Responsible breeders do not breed to make money-because they know they won't. Responsible breeders do not breed to show their kids the marvels of reproduction and birth-because they know that breeding can be a difficult, and sometimes heart-breaking, process. Responsible breeders do not breed their dog just to produce some cute puppies - because they know that each of those cute puppies will require many hours of care, and must be placed with a responsible owner who will continue that care even when the cuteness of puppyhood is over.
Responsible breeders do not breed unless they are convinced that their knowledge, experience, and devotion to their favorite breed will result in a mating that will produce an exceptional litter of puppies, with qualities that are as near as possible to the ideal for that breed. They breed to preserve and to enhance the characteristics that make their breed unique. In short, they breed to improve.
Responsible breeders know that raising puppies is a full-time job. During the first couple of weeks the dam normally takes care of the puppies' needs, but complications, such as a dam with no milk or an orphaned litter, may arise. It is the breeder's responsibility to provide a safe, warm, dry place for the puppies and proper food and water for the dam.
Puppies are even more work (and more fun!) when they are weaned. The extra feeding, cleanup, grooming, training, and veterinary care you will need to provide adds up to a lot of hours-and not much free time for you.
Another factor that you must consider is the financial burden of having a litter of puppies. Breeding is not a profit-making activity. From the genetic screening and health tests before breeding, to the extra food, supplies, and medical care required after the puppies are born, the cost of whelping and raising puppies can be very high, especially if complications arise. These costs are rarely, if ever, recouped by the sale of the puppies.

Breeding has a purpose. Unlike humans animal breeding is for improving the breed. There is no profit in breeding. Breeding takes a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of knowledge; which you probably don't have,
If you feel I insulted you I'm not, because people who have knowledge to breed know where to find a Sire.

Are you experienced in breeding? Yorkies are not the easiest to breed & you could well be risking her life if you do not have the experience to know when things go wrong. You could also be facing large vet's bills if things go wrong.

Why would you breed your dog when there are so many homeless dogs? Please get your dog spayed as to not add to the over-population of dogs. IF you are just looking for a friend for her go to www.petfinder.com. There are so many dogs looking for homes.
