| Will be ok if I breed my 5 pound female to a 6.5 pound male? Will be ok if I breed my 5 pound female to a 6.5 pound male? I've heard that the male should be smaller but I'm having a hard time finding a smaller male. Thanks! |

| size I have bred many larger champion males..in the 6, even 7 pound range to bitches in the 5 pound range...never had a problem. I had a 6 1/2pound champion who sired exceptionally small puppies...knowing the line is most important...a 3 pound stud can have a 9 pound sire..a 7 pound stud can have a 3 pound sire... |

To the OP, being that it is your first time breeding, if you must do so, please spend months researching and finding some one qualified, reputable and preferably close by to mentor you, before you start.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | it should not be a problem, the female is the one who determines the size of the puppies in utero, the male determines sex of the babies. hugs, |

| Is you female a winning show dog? What lines are behind your girl? What lines are behind the male? I think anyone that breeds their dog, should ask the question of themselves, "Why am I wanting to breed"? If your breeding pair are not shining examples of what the breed standard says Yorkies should be, why breed them? If you have not researched the lines behind your own dog, and then additionally, the pedigree of the male, if you have no idea of what breeding these two together, will likely produce....and yes, you may have outliers in a litter, but generally you will know if bodies will tend to be compact, legs well proportioned, heads with the classic Yorkie look, small well placed ears, etc.....you have not researched this enough and you are putting your female at a huge risk, jumping in way over your head, and you have to ask yourself WHY? It distresses me so much when people who have absolutely NO idea what breeding two dogs entail or is even supposed to be about, jump into this with NO research or knowledge. You wouldnt jump into a swimming pool and THEN decide to learn how to swim! Please, learn what breeding is and should be about, and know what you are doing before you plunge headlong into something that can cost you the life of that poor unsuspecting little female that depends on YOU to be making intelligent decisions for HER best interests. If you are reading books and looking at whelping videos the day your female is supposed to be whelping, you are NOT prepared to breed. It sounds to me like this will be the case.... Please, rethink this decision, for the sake of the female, and the litter you are responsible for producing. Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 02-18-2013 at 08:08 AM. |
