Lightbulb I want to breed my yorkie

I think that it would be of value- to start a topic from the start for those who want to have a litter of puppes. I see a lot of questions that give me the impression that some folks have not done there homework before they breed. It would be nice to talk about -Should I breed my male or female? Pick of litter vs. Stud fee Why should they not be bred? Is this a good match? What is involved with the actual breeding? Care of mom to be? What to expect during birth? Equipment needed during or after birth of puppes? When do I call the vet for help? When and why the puppies go to the vet? Why did I really want to breed?

The more info the better. Uninformed breeders make a lot of mistakes that could be avoided if they have good advice beforehand, especially about reasons to breed or not.

I am also thinking about having puppies .I have the male picked from the same line (not brother & sister), he is small, under four pounds. My Sweetie is just over five pounds.
Any informatoin that you-all would pass on would be great.
One question, at what age do you breeders think is good for a first litter. I hard the 18 months or the third heat? What about the secon heat,14 months?

I think 18 months is about the second heat. They should come about every 6 mo.

Is this related: Now that I have puppies, I can't bear to sell them. They are six weeks old right now, but I can't see letting them go, even in 6 more weeks.

I know the feeling. I have 3 puppies that are 8 week and 1 day old. I could NEVER be a breeder because I cant let them go. Unfortunatly, one of them is going, BUT, she's going ot my in-laws....who live in the same neighborhood.

I look at their little faces and how much they love us and it makes me sad to imagine them being across the country somewhere. So, they are staying with us. Until the female goes with my in-laws, we'll have 5 dogs in the house lol

It's terrible! We have 5 puppies.
I told my mom she could have one if she wants one. She sorta does, but likes her freedom and clean house. I told her she could try it and return if it is too much - she is only 10 miles away.
One of my friends wants one, but they are in Monterrey Mex right now, and she let her son have a Mastiff a couple of weeks ago. Now I think I am just going to let her keep it here if she wants to. I am so afraid she will be killed there.
I keep trying to tell myself it is too many baths and brushing, but we have a big house and a big yard and I am not working (trying to keep up with the house, hubby, and two teenagers.) My husband has the same problem, he wants us to sell them, but he can't even choose one to let go of.

Lightbulb I want to breed my yorkie

First of all, how many folks know what the standard is and what it comprises. The standard is the perfect dog. The perfect yorkie does not exist- but when you are going to breed it is what you should stide for.


What are the faults with the male and female? Do they have the same faults? Do they compliment each other? Are you breeding just cause they are so darn cute and you can. Have you had your breeding stock if you own both or the female checked by a vet to make sure that they are sound. I hear a lot about the bad breeder who sold you a puppy that had liver shunt or L.P. and so forth has your stock been checked? Are you ready to stand behind a puppy that you sale for at least a year to make the new owner happy?

Kimberly has so many good posts about breeding. She should have a thread with breeding articles she has posted.

Cool Step up to the plate!

What wonderful posts. A lot of times I log on and I try to give responses and posts a few - it's addictive. I have to make myself get up from the computer, especially when my house has to be cleaned. It is heart breaking though when I read about breedings that have been conducted just because they think they have a cute baby (they are all cute) or "help, what have I done?" I just wish that if anyone is going to breed they do their homework, go to shows to see yorkies up close, read books on our breed, and there is also the Internet with some pretty great sites to gather information. When I started back in the good ole days- I educated myself first by reading, then I got the Yorkie Tales magazine delivered to my home and studied the lines and pictures (now I am dating myself), joined our local yorkie club (which by the way the monthly meetings were about 1 hour away from my home - one way, volunteered and entered my pups in our matches, and then went to the shows myself and got a handler. Many of us worked or had kids and husbands or wives in some cases, but made the time to learn and study the breed. You don't have to go as far as I did into it - but you do have a responsibility to our beautiful breed - "The Yorkshire Terrier." I hate to say this out loud - but since the yorkie has become some popular - we are now seeing more problems mount up. It remindes me of the trouble toy poodles had back in the 70's. Don't get me wrong, but am I right?
I have been watching this post and see many wonderful educated breeders give comments - koodoes to wnalegria for starting this by the way. But now lets see some questions too. I commend the ones asking - this is how you learn! We will actually think more of the ones asking and trying to educate themselves than the ones that don't ask. You guys are so lucky to have experienced breeders here that know their stuff to help you and share their knowledge. You go girls!!

Lightbulb I want to breed my yorkie

Thanks Topknot. This is a great chance for beginners to get their feet wet.
Breeding, taking care of a expecting mom, whelping a litter of puppies, rasing a litter of puppies is hard and expensive work.

I am upset when I get the indication that folks are using the advice of the more experienced as a way to not go to the vet. When you have a sick puppy or adult your bottom needs to be at that vet's office for thier expert advice. They have all the hands on equipment and medications that may be needed to save that animals life. It is hard to second guess from long distance and make a diagnosis. Sometimes yes, an experienced breeder can say "yep been there and done that - and this is what I did. But you the person on the other side have to have the knowledge to give correct descriptions of what is happening with the animal. I am discouraged when some one has bred thier female and asks "Oh they need their tales docked when should that be done? This is part of the information that you need BEFORE YOU BREED YOUR FEMALE. You need to have money set aside to pay for any medical bills that may arrive. Back in the 70's I was told to earmark $500.00 each time I bred to pay for any unexpected and anticipated expenses for the bitch and puppies- this does not include the stud service.


Oh how I miss Yorkie Tales.

Im not planning to breed Gucci or any other, but I will love to know all this information. My hubby keeps insisting but I dont want to. He doesnt know how much work it is. They think is something easy like 1, 2, 3. SO i will show him this thread for him to understand. Very good idea.
