What do I need to do to become a Yorkshire Terrier Breeder besides register the dogs and get their s

My boyfriend has a Male Yorkshire Terrier, and I am getting a female in a couple days. We want to breed and sell them, but would anyone know what we have to do if we live in New York? Like how much it would be to get a licence?

Both dogs must be at least 2 years old, registered with the AKC and have completed their AKC championship in the conformation ring. All genetic testing and health clearances must be done, plus brucellosis testing before mating. The expense of breeding dogs far exceeds any money made from selling puppies.

And just FYI, there are already many responsible breeders of Yorkies in the NYC area that people will prefer to buy from. Since you have gotten your pups from breeders that did not sell them with a clause in the agreement stating that you spay/neuter them by a certain age, that indicates that they are from backyard breeders, and of an inferior quality, and should not be bred.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE DECIDING TO BREED YOUR DOG:

Have they completed their AKC championships in the ring, thereby proving their quality as breeding stock?

Have you studied their pedigrees to determine possible genetic defects going back decades?

Have you evaluated male and female against the written breed standard to determine why their particular offspring would make a viable contribution to the breed?

Have you done the requisite health tests?

Are you willing to have their eyes and hips certified?
