The reasons you are giving are not good reasons to breed Yorkies or any other dogs..
If you are serious about breeding it takes money to invest in sound dogs with no genetic defects.
If you do not.. you are setting yourself up for heartache and passing this heartache along to someone who buy a dog from you. Believe me.. I know.. When I started out I bought a male dog for breeding and this dog was not cheap. I had the dog 2 month and it started having severe seizures. The dog cost me 500 dollar on top of what I gave for him to get him lined out and then gave him away to a good home. The breeder wanted nothing to go with me or the dog and is still breeding these dogs knowing she is producing other dogs with problems. There is no way I would breed this dog and put someone else through the heartache.
Do have to have enough money IF the dog needs a C-SECTION.
If you do not have a sound female you can lose pups and the mother. Then you have lost everything.
You need
Testing on both dog to make sure they are OK to breed.
STD on both dogs
Eyes , Ears, Heart, Lungs
Check for Elbow Dysplasia, Patellar Luxation
Bile duct testing for liver shunt
These are just scratching the surface of thing you need to know..
Lost work, lost of sleep, bottle feeding pup when mom won’t.
Keeping the pups for 8-12 week
Shot for pups, tail docking, dewclaws removed.
Anyone can throw two dogs together but If you are wanting to be a responsible breeder. Then, you need to study up on the breed, the faults and defects to watch out for ..
I hope you do not want to produce ,floppy eared , long legged, unhealthy dogs….that becomes homeless or in shelters.
If you do …. your name will get passed around from those who buys from you and no one will buy a pup from you. FOOD for thought |
