| breeding a stud? Hello yorkie community! I have a two year old yorkie, Harley. I am convinced he is the most handsome yorkie ever. He is blonde and blue/grey. He is AKA registered. I would really like to stud him out, but I don't know how to find a reliable and safe breeder. Does anyone have any suggestions? |

| Good Q, Katelin. But I would suggest the OP checks out the Breeders Fourm right here on this board, where she'll find all the info she needs, and will be asked all the right Q's.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Although, I'm sure your Harley is the "most handsome yorkie ever", there is a lot to consider before even trying to breed your male. Please do go and read in the breeders section. Welcome to YT!

| reason for breeding Really, I want to breed him for two reasons. I want to have a puppy for my mom, and I would like to make some money eventually. |

| If this is your goal, I definitely suggest you read through the breeders section. There are so many things involved in breeding, and truthfully I think most breeders will tell you that they don't actually make any money, but do it for the love of the breed and to better the breed. A handsome dog is not enough to make him a good stud if all of the other criteria aren't there too. For that reason, you may have trouble finding a reputable breeder who is willing to use your stud. But do educate yourself, and use that knowledge to evaluate your stud. Then you can decide whether to breed him or not.

Alot of males change once they start breeding. They are no longer the sweet dog you once had. Alot will also starting marking everywhere. As far as the money it is alot of time involved. Sometimes not worth the money. Keeping a bitch for days. Them barking all night wanting to each other. Alot of sleepless nights. If I worked I would never do it. When I do I wonder why I did it again.LOL I get really stressed out everytime I stud my male. I am afraid they won't breed and the owner will be disappointed. I have more grey hairs over my yorkies than I do over my kids.. lol

As far as making money, usually those who are in breeding only for the money will find a way to profit. Either by skipping on health tests, costs of evaluations, overcharging, etc. Where there is a will, there is a way. I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just encouraging others to consider ALL the possibilities. It's not all roses and sunshine and the perfect atrological alignment that you have described. | ||

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | My brother bred his dog and I swear the boy is a humping machine now. Every female he sees he wants to mount. He doesn't mark in the house..that is a saving grace. I know a couple folks that breed and they have told me that their males are still loving but get frisky and will mark. They tend to have sex on the brain after that. Breeding is not for the faint of heart. Lots of work, never a profit unless you cut those corners and mass produce. Good luck in whatever you choose to do. Personallly as adorable and studly as my little guy is I had him fixed. I will leave the breeding to others and just enjoy my boy as my little loverman and not a stud muffin.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | What sort of temperment problems did he have that improved? Not trying to be mean just curious to see what you saw an improvement in for learning purposes.

| He was calmer, less yappy, and friendlier towards other dogs
