| Spike has no papers...... I'm fairly new here and have recently thought about studding Spike. Only thing is, I have no paperwork for Spike. Spike is 3 years old and weighs under 2 pounds. No question in my mind he is a pure-bred. Can I get paperwork for him somehow? How much do you think I could charge to stud? |

| you would need to contact akc for his info on parents...that is if his parents were reg with them. there will most likely be a penalty fee for reg, but is still possible to get. he is a good age for breeding, but you need to ask yourself why you want to do it. is he from healthy lines, is he within the standard,, who would you breed him with, have you checked the background of the female you have in mind for him...i know, so many questions...but i just want to make sure you are prepared. so much can happen. keep us informed. |

| I really know nothing about his line. I saved Spike from the Humane Society and found absolutley nothing about his past. He is very healthy. I want to breed him because I think he needs to. He humps a couple of dogs from the neighborhood when he play with them. And if he is, I figured I might as well charge a stud fee. |

| papers AKC will not allow you to register him..no one has any idea who his parents are ...he may well be a purebred Yorkie, but unless you know the breeder and can get his registration info, AKC will not talk to you much beyond NO! He could be from another country and shipped to the US..very common...there are dozens valid reasons for AKC denying papers. |

| she's (pat) right. i didnt understand if you had the info on his parents from his breeder at first, but after re-reading i see you got him from humane society. that was a great thing for you to do, but DO NOT breed him. you dont know and cant find out where he came from. so just enjoy him and love him! and you also cannot register him through akc if he is a humane society baby adopted. keep us updated on him, he sure is a little cutie! |

| That's what I thought, too. I would be shocked if he wasn't already neutered.

| I have a very close friend who works at the Humane Society and he gave me a call the minute Spike came in the door. I was able to rescue Spike without him having to be neutered. T-Bone is a Humane Society pup as well but he is neutered. |

| I think the CKC (Continental Kennel Club) will register your dog with pictures of your dog and 2 witnesses signing their form stating your dog is a yorkie... (I have a copy of the form here that I am reading...there is a witness section if your dog is over 6 months old). You can get the form online ... do a search on Continental Kennel Club. You can call the various registries and check with them... CKC, ACA, APRI and see what their policies for registering are. Hope this helps!

This dog should not be bred, since you have no way of determining whether or not he is carrying recessive genetic traits for inheritable health problems. I am sure you do not want to be responsible for producing pups with serious health issues. Yorks are famous for 'em, check the sick/health threads. Just cause he's cute, doesn't mean you should breed him. The person you know at the Humane Society should have insisted that he be neutered... please make a responsible choice and have him neutered asap. | |

| There are tests that can be done to see if he has certain traits, but think of what you're asking...for his DNA to be tested for a recessive genetic trait, not for something that will eventually show up in him,that's money right there. There are some things that can be tested for, and some that cannot. I think that it depends on why you want to stud him out. It seems to me that it's probably just a money thing, which is the wrong reason anyway, but if you do stud him out you just need to be aware that Spike is a very little Yorkie without a pedigree. You don't know where he came from or what his parents were like. He is far under the breed standard, and thus he and any substandard puppies he produces have a much higher risk of health difficulties. It's not very fair to the puppies produced, or the breeder you stud him to if you just get CKC papers and go for it. As long as you let the breeder know his background ahead of time, then you're not indebted to them later, but anyone willing to mate their female with him, without knowing anything, probably isn't a very knowledgable breeder. I don't think anyone meant to offend saying that Spike wasn't fit to breed. If you were going to keep all the puppies it's a totally different story, they're just for love and cuddling in the family, but otherwise it's basically the same principal as mating mutts (though that's a bit harsh, but I'm just trying to draw a bit of a parallel). |
