| Aiming to breed my kiddos, just looking for opinions Hi there! So i had a wonderful week or two reading to page 97 (so far) of the entire yorkietalk breeder forum lol... i just had a few questions... i've 2 yorkies, My female is on her 9th day of heat (she had visible blood on her on the 5th of dec. i'm nearly positive of the date because i'm a groomer and am just generally detail oriented about my dogs daily but of course could be off a day) anyway and i am wanting to breed them. She is a little over 6lbs almost 2 years old... and my boy is a little over 4lbs and 2 and half years old.... they've been tested before hand. yes. but my questions were... my female is akc registered, and so was my male. i got a letter from the akc his registration is 'being held in abeyance, pending completion of parentage verification analysis of akc dna certifications." and my breeder and i cannot locate the owner of dam of my boy's father... and its been a year and i'm not seeing it straightening out any time soon... with that being said is it a bad idea to breed them if he isn't akc registered? i dont know how to go about registering with another kennel club. another question is my dogs are my family. they sleep with me, under the covers.. and with her being in heat i seperate them only when i'm not home. i keep a watchful eye on them when i am home so i can supervise any humpy time they may have... but is it nessessary to seperate them completely? them sneeking away at night out from under the covers to do it isn't something i consider them doing... she just started flagging a bit tonight he was interested and was trying... but ultimately couldnt situate himself and when i tried to help hold her the two of them changed to play mode... so tomorrow i dont have many dogs to groom so i will put them in separate rooms until i come home... then... do i just wait till they are interest again? because me holding her he doesnt go for her he tries to play with me or find a toy to hump. (i've removed all the toys now lol) it just seems like if i interfere they stop? or maybe she isnt exactly ovulating cuz he isn't hounding her...? sorry. on with my reading i suppose. lol i really just can't wait to share the joys of my babys mommy hood with you guys!! |

| It sounds to me like the owners of sire to your male might never have sent in a dna sample of their male after he qualified as a frequently used sire. You definitely should contact AKC and find out what they say. If you cannot get proper papers on your male then you would not be able to register them with AKC. You could get papers with some of the other registries like apr or ckc but many people frown on those registries. Also, don't let your dogs fool you. They will get up in the middle of the night and try to breed. It just takes you taking your eyes off of them for a few minutes for a tie to occur. It can happen really fast, especially for experienced males. I feel that it is always best to be right there with them if a tie occurs or the female can go a little crazy when the male ties her. I would suggest the male wears a belly band and the female wears panties when you have them loose together. Even with them wearing those they can undress each other so that is not fool proof. My advise is for you to get a little x-pen and just let them take turns staying in the x-pen, especially if you are not right there with them. It is good for them to start getting used to an x-pen anyway because if your female has puppies they will have to be separated. I do wish you the best of luck. |

| Sounds like breeding them is probably not the best idea. The puppies will not be able to be registered with AKC as their father is not currently registered. IMO "pet" registries like Central KC etc are not worth much of anything, you might as well just have un-registered puppies. What where they "tested beforehand" for? Keep them seperated completely if you do not want them to breed. You will have an accident if you do not keep them apart. If you do breed them anyway do not let them just have "humpy time" as you posted. You will need to be hands on to make sure that neither is injured during a tie, which can last up to 30 mins or more. |

| Also, if you do breed your bitch, remember there is a lot that can go wrong. It isn't always the joys of mommyhood. I had some heartbreaking experiences last year and nearly lost one of my bitches when she aspirated on vomit during an emergency c section. We also had to put an otherwise lovely male puppy out of my CH/MACH/UD/RAE papillon to sleep as he had a midline closure defect exposing his intestines AND had a defect in his rear feet (basically they looked like they were on backwards). Breeding toy dogs is EXTREMELY stressful and you need to be prepared that it is very likely that something will go wrong during the whelping requiring emergency assistance. The death rate for puppies during whelping is very very high, even among experienced breeders. |
